This jazzy little plant combo is situated along a stepping stone path in the side garden of Scott Endres in St. Paul, Minnesota. The plants here include 'Burgundy Glow' bugleweed (Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow', Zones 3-9), white lantana (Lantana camara cv., Zone 11), 'Elijah Blue' blue fescue (Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue', Zones 4-8), and 'Lime Glow' juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Lime Glow', Zones 3-9).
