Mazus reptans 'Purple': Mazus – Tiny Purple Flowers on a Bright Green Carpet

Mazus reptans 'Purple' – Purple Mazus

Mazus reptans 'Purple' is a delightful, tiny, mat-forming perennial that creates a dense, bright green carpet of small, spoon-shaped, toothed leaves. In late spring to early summer, it covers itself in masses of tiny, snapdragon-like, purple flowers with yellow and white markings. It blooms profusely and often reblooms sporadically. It tolerates light foot traffic.

Mazus thrives in partial shade to full sun (with moisture) and consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is perfect for planting between stepping stones, along pond edges, and in damp rock gardens. It spreads quickly by rooting stems to form a solid mat. A charming, floriferous, low-maintenance ground cover for moist, partly sunny sites.
