Introducing the remarkable Lynnhaven Carpet Robin's Plantain, a standout variety of E. pulchellus meticulously selected for its exceptional qualities. With its relatively large grey-green, pubescent foliage measuring 4 inches, dense mat-forming habit, and remarkable adaptability to challenging conditions, this plant brings unparalleled beauty and resilience to any garden landscape.
In early May, the Lynnhaven Carpet Robin's Plantain adorns itself with individual flower stalks, each boasting lightly tinted lavender flowers with a striking yellow inner eye. Despite its modest stature, with foliage remaining under 6 inches and flowering stems topping out at just over a foot tall, this plant makes a big impact as it forms a tight groundcover.
Originally discovered on the 27-acre property of Clarice Keeling in Virginia Beach, VA, 'Lynnhaven Carpet' was named after the picturesque Lynnhaven River by renowned plantsman Charles Cresson. This native perennial carries with it the legacy of its origins, embodying the resilience and beauty of its natural habitat.
