Carex appalachica
Carex appalachica
Common Name: Appalachian sedge

This lovely sedge is native to the dry woods of eastern North America. Its fine texture and fountaining habit make it a lovely groundcover in dry shady sites, even in the root zone of trees. Its tidy clumping habit makes it a perfect feature in a container, rock or stump, or in a border planting along a walkway.

Height: 12 Inches
Spread: 8 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 3-8

Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
Common Name: wood spurge

An evergreen plant that is excellent in sun or shade. A carefree, slowly spreading groundcover with shiny, deep green, leathery leaves. Yellow green disc-like bracts back chartreuse yellow flowers in late spring which last for months. Looks fantastic in a pot and in the garden. Grow in a protected site for best winter foliage. Most importantly, this plant has just about zero maintenance requirements. Unbeatable!
