Tips from Fran
Mazus radicans is one of my secret weapons in the garden. Yes, the foliage is a bit weird, not to mention the bloom, but this plant is one tough cookie. It grows by underground runners and topical runners. It is an amazing lawn substitute plant in which you could hold wrestling match on this plant and it will rebound nicely.
