That's why Ajuga reptans 'Texas Tough' is such an amazing discovery. Our friend and keen-eyed plantsman Scott Ogden, spotted this patch of ajuga growing in the Big Easy and knew he had discovered something special. Ajuga 'Texas Tough' doesn't just survive, it thrives, solidly covering the ground, even in full southern sun with 100% humidity and almost daily rains. You'll love this insanely sturdy grower, composed of tightly woven glossy green leaf rosettes, forming a spectacular, weed-suppressing 4' wide patch in only 2 years. Stalks of purple flowers top the clump in late spring.

Working with two non-vining species, the Eurasian Clematis integrifolia and the Midwest US Clematis fremontii, Hans was able to create a taller, more floriferous, and more vigorous bush clematis. When young, Clematis 'Stand by Me' stands erect, but as it matures, eventually to 3' tall, the weight of all the flowers needs some support, so we recommend planting it near a good support structure...either constructed or a receptive shrub. When mature, Clematis 'Stand by Me' is topped with hundreds of down-turned blue bell-shaped flowers in late spring, and sporadically in summer. The other superb summer feature is the airy seed heads which smother the plant.
