Oh, the Grevillea heartbreak - It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, right. You know you can cry on our shoulders should that fateful day happen. My Corsican mint does the same thing, dies where it wants, grows in different places. I've seen beautiful carpets of it that smell divine but have never been able to achieve that myself. Acaena inermis 'Purpurea' has such a gorgeous color & tolerates nearly no water in my parking strip - a gorgeous plant!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-34026366549567515442016-06-25T15:43:06.660-07:002016-06-25T15:43:06.660-07:00Scleranthus, I killed it three times.

I vaguely recall trying it in my old garden (when, if I remember correctly, it was sold as "Australian Astroturf") but it didn't do well, probably because that garden was mostly shade. And perhaps I'll work up the courage to try that Grevillea too - its projected size has scared me off so far. <br /><br />I've shaken off my hear-induced funk (mostly) and put together a belated favorites post: http://krispgarden.blogspot.com/2016/06/june-favorites-looking-at-positives.html Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-78090040692785668092016-06-24T21:16:40.943-07:002016-06-24T21:16:40.943-07:00Love the groundcovers!

It doesn't seem to like clay soil. I didn't think it would, but thought I'd try. I had a huge patch of Corsican mint at one point. I thought it had all disappeared, but I just found a few little bits of it today in a completely different bed. I just got some of that purple Acaena, and 'Blue Haze'. I'm suddenly feeling nervous planting my Grevillea x gaudichaudii in the ground. I might dig it up to keep it safe until I move to a milder climate. I finally remembered to write a post, and had some photos to work with!

And the Corsican mint is something I've wanted to grow for years; I assume it wouldn't stand a chance here, but I'd be happy to be told (reliably!) otherwise. Personally I am starting to sprinkle the small cacti and aloes in as groundcovers of a sort though there's not much to show for it yet!<br />Here is my favs post: https://smallsunnygarden.blogspot.com/2016/06/little-jewels.htmlAmy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-51863385635611987332016-06-24T15:46:14.941-07:002016-06-24T15:46:14.941-07:00Sedum is about the only tiny-leaved groundcover th...Sedum is about the only tiny-leaved groundcover that does well for me.
