Platt's Black Brass Buttons - Leptinella squalida 'Platt's Black'

Regular price $5.99

Look like miniature ferns for the miniature garden! But it's a fun ground cover perennial and hardy to -30F. Serrated edges on tiny 1" long leaves. Plant turns greener in the shade and browner in the sun so if you see brown leaves, it's not dead! Use the darker-colored leaves to add drama to your miniature garden bed.
