Acaena (Goose Leaf)
at Digging Dog
Including Acaena inermis and Acaena saccaticupula
Acaena
Goose Leaf
Our selections of this enchanting,
ground-hugging evergreen from New Zealand feature
diminutive leaves with a ferny delicacy. Lifting on short
stalks above the foliage, globe-shaped seed
heads—small thornless “burrs”—are colored a brownish red. Adapted to almost any well drained location, plant it as a cover for your bulb bed, situate it along pathways, perch it on a garden wall or let it creep around paving stones.
Purple Goose Leaf
Colored in a purple-gray shade reminiscent of
overripe plums, this Acaena’s delicate,
low-lying foliage warmly interweaves a planting of
Dianthus ‘Mendlesham Maid’,
Scutellaria ‘Texas Rose’ and
Carex glauca above our rock wall.
Blooms June–July. Size: 6" high & spreading; hardy to zone 6. Acaena inermis ‘Purpurea’ (P-1095)
Each $6.50

Blue Goose Leaf
Pairs of tiny, silvery blue scalloped leaves and
bronze trailing stems stay close to the ground, casting
cool, fine textured accents on the sage green,
ruffle-edged foliage of Diascia ‘Blackthorn Apricot’ or
the glossy greenery of Dracocephalum ‘Fuji White’.
Blooms June–July. Size: 6" high & spreading; hardy to zone 6. Acaena saccaticupula (P-1174)
Each $6.50
