Lessingia filaginifolia - Silver Carpet

Corethrogyne, Sand Aster, Corethrogyne, Sand Aster

Silvery foliage with bright summer blooms

Tough as nails and happy under a wide range of conditions, including CLAY, HEAT and DROUGHT, this fantastic native groundcover is also salt spray and deer resistant! Quickly spreading to 3' or more, you get a lovely, dense, flat, weed suppressing silvery carpet only a few inches tall - a great choice for parking strips! Summer and Fall bring a multitude of sweet 1" lavender daisies on short stems. Quite beautiful trailing over the edge of a bed. Grows well under oaks and attracts butterflies! Provide occasional Summer water inland for best appearance.

Guarantee

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
