 Alchemilla alpina (Lady's Mantle) | |
| I love the standard species for bouquets and large gardens but this little guy is perfect for smaller gardens especially for rockeries. The tiny chartreuse flowers float above ground-hugging uniquely shaped glossy leaves. I'm trying this one with another mat former, the new Ajuga reptans 'Dixie Chip' for a border.

Allium senescens 'Glaucum' (Ornamental Onion) | |
| The common name comes from the odor of onions when the leaves are bruised. This dainty guy will always have a place in my gardens.

A bulb that is easy to divide and clumps quickly. Likes sandy, well drained soils. Clumps nicely Zone: 4 |
