Asarina procumbens | Creeping Snapdragon

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Asarina procumbens, also known as trailing snapdragon, is a unique perennial native to the Pyrenees in southern France and northern Spain. This charming, low-growing plant is noted for its cascading stems and rounded, velvety leaves, which form dense mats perfect for ground cover or spilling over containers and rock walls.

Blooming from late spring through fall, Asarina procumbens produces delicate, pale yellow tubular flowers with soft, frilled edges that resemble miniature snapdragons. These blossoms add a cheerful touch to the garden, especially in areas with partial shade, where their soft color is a lovely contrast against the foliage.
