I bought the plant at a nursery, I used half a bag of top soil that I bought at a big box store, and the fairy items came from a dollar store. In all I spent 24.71. The Mazus was divided, and planted though out the small area. I'm excited to watch the green leaves and purple flowers to fill in the space. Family and friends will enjoy the new welcoming scene when they visit my home.
You have chosen me! The excitement is uncontainable. I’m ready to come out of the pot my roots have been confined to since I arrived at the nursery. While they took excellent care of me I know there is no better place to be than a forever garden.
When I discovered you, the fairies, chose me, above all other plants I couldn't believe it. I'm sure there were other ground-covers you could have chosen, but you needed a fast-spreading ground-cover that isn't considered invasive. My green leaves and purple flowers will create a little oasis, in a previously dull space. I won't grow too tall. I only reach about two inches. That is enough to provide you with the privacy you need. You live within the zones five through eight, so I won't have a problem in the winter or summer months. I like the sun, but if you need me to thrive in a little bit of shad I will adapt to that as well. I like my roots to stay wet, so while you don't have to water me every day I enjoy a good shower from the watering can, or sprinkler. Insects have never bothered me, but some of my friends have told me to watch out for snails. From time to time humans might walk on me, but that's OK. It doesn't bother me too much.
I can't wait for you to get me home, take me out of my pot, and spread my roots. Feel free to divide me and plant me in a couple of different spots in the garden. I hope I make you happy for years to come.
Love,
Mazus reptans.
