Mazus
Creeping among flagstones or in rock gardens, mazus makes a colorful groundcover. Small snapdragon-like flowers, which are pale purplish-blue or white and spotted with yellow on the three-lobed lower lip, blanket mats of foliage. Provide shade from the heat of the day in the south, but otherwise sunny spots are ideal. It grows best in moist soil.

Loosestrife
The golden pennylike leaves of golden creeping Jenny provide an attractive foil for mazus. They assort well in rock gardens and among flagstones.
DianthusWith deep cerise flowers and grassy foliage, 'Flashing Light' dianthus is enhanced by creeping mazus close by. Both need similar conditions.
CatmintWith similar bloom times, the low, pale blue flowers of 'Little Titch' catmint combine nicely with white-flowered mazus in a sunny spot.
