By June, it reaches full-foliage splendor, with upturned leaves resembling glossy bowls and rich purple undersides. While this gem may wilt in the hot noonday sun, soft shade will soon revive it. At the start of summer, bright golden daisies appear, providing a bold contrast.

This pale-yellow-flowered daylily distinguishes itself with its profuse bloom and compact size (only 16 inches tall), making it good for containers and the borders. It is an early season bloomer with circular flowers that open in late afternoon and last through the night.

‘Autumn Bride’ is one of the best cultivars of the species H. villosa. The large, fuzzy, gray-green leaves set this one apart from all of the others. The midsummer white flowers are also attractive. This heuchera is tolerant of full sun but prefers partial shade, especially in the afternoon.

(Common periwinkle, creeping myrtle) Be the first to rate this plant
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Creeping myrtle has a reputation for being a tough evergreen ground cover for shade that will grow in almost any soil. Though the leaves of the species are a shiny dark green, the leaves of ‘Illumination’ are vividly splashed with a bright gold color. The 1-inch-wide periwinkle blue flowers that open against the brilliant foliage are a bonus. This plant makes for a striking ground-hugging mat and is also spectacular in hanging baskets.
