Leptinella squalida
New Zealand Brass Buttons
Gorgeous creeper with gray fern-like foliage creep along on top and underneath the soil. Small yellow button flowers top in spring. This is such a rewarding plant anywhere in your garden. Gray-green color turns bronze in autumn. Plant between pavers and watch how it creeps through little cracks. Plant as a lawn substitute and throw your mower out!

Tips from Fran
Leptinella squalida is the basic Leptinella offered at most retailers. It is a great grower and takes a tremendous amount of foot traffic. I love the fact that it roams and will creep into any little crack or crevice you might have, thus our exception noted in this listing to the left. It can take some extreme heat for a while, but without water will just simply fry. So try it in sun, but give it enough water so it won’t turn into a crispy critter.
