Mazus reptans Purple Description
Also known as cupflower or creeping mazus, Mazus reptans is a fast growing groundcover with hundreds of purple blooms in late spring. It thrives in sun to part shade.
Narrow, 1" leaves form a dense carpet of green that remain attractive from spring-fall. Foliage stays evergreen in warmer climates.
Mazus spreads quickly through rooting stems, and fills in fast without being a nuisance. Ideal for planting between stepping stones (tolerates foot traffic), or covering large areas of soil. It's a beautiful, effective groundcover that pairs with roses, hydrangeas, and evergreens. Plant some spring-flowering bulbs for an unforgettable display!
Creeping mazus does best in moderately moist but well drained soil. It will spread anywhere from 6-12" in a season.
In late spring, hundreds of tubular purplish-blue flowers with yellow and white markings sing out from the lush mat of green foliage.

Robin E | Jan 24, 2018All I can say is WOW! The plants were a good size and were in excellent shape AND the packing was impeccable. I have ordered from quite a few mail order companies, and I must say, I have rarely received plants of this size and health. Thanks for great and plants and service, I will definitely be ordering again!
