Leptosiphon Mix (Leptosiphon Hybrida French Hybrids Mix) -Hundreds of cute little half inch wide colored stars float merrily above spreading soft green ferny groundcovering foliage of this California native. An excellent little long-blooming choice for trailing over the front of a bed, container or planted along a pathway. Leptosiphon easily grows from flower seed in the flower garden, but often used as a ground cover plant as well. Create a carpet of color with Leptosiphon Frech Hybrids. A mass of dainty star like flowers shine out from short tufted plants in a mixture of bright colors. Grows best in full sun and will only reach 6 to 8 inches in height.
