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. Acaena inermis ‘Purpurea’ 
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 x 0" & spreading; hardy to zone 6. Acaena inermis Purpurea (P-1095)
Each $6.00

Acaena saccaticupula
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 x 0" & spreading; hardy to zone 6. Acaena saccaticupula (P-1174)
