Gardening 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.
 
Plant as a full lawn substitution for an amazing look in your yard or
plant it between stepping stones to soften your front entryway.
 
Try a fun fairy garden and use this Leptinella as the grass!
 

~I have included the Leptinellas to the non-flowing plant category as their little

button flowers are so insignificant that I felt it was best to add them rather than leave them out.
