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.

<i>Acaena saccaticupula</i>

Pairs of tiny, scalloped silvery blue leaves and bronze trailing stems stay close to the ground, casting cool, fine textured accents on Sedum ‘Voodoo’s rich mahogany-red foliage or the glossy greenery of Dracocephalum ‘Fuji White’.

Blooms June–July.

Size: 6" high x 0" & spreading wide.

Hardy to zone 6.
