Well, I just think you have to grow some Yerba Buena. CLAY, SAND and SHADE TOLERANT, it also grows under oaks and makes a lush, flat, evergreen groundcover for shade, spreading to 6’ across and up to 2" tall. Fantastic used as a trailer, especially over a shady wall, you can even grow it in a hanging basket. It roots along the stems, not by rhizomes and is not invasive. The rich, green, scalloped leaves are held oppositely on the stems and little, flaring, tubular, white to purple flowers appear summer thru fall. Easy, tough and long lived, it smells heavenly and makes a healthful and tasty, mint-like tea. Historically, this herb was used by indigenous communities ranging from British Columbia to Southern California. Very pretty and deer resistant, too! It’s perfect in every way! Just give an annual bit of compost and cut back occasionally to promote bushiness. Drought tolerant, but best with some summer water.

Growing well here in 8B so far.
Bought a couple of these-they arrived healthy. I planted them immediately and they are doing well, already growing wider and even a few flowers. I'm hoping they will help suppress weeds.

Wonderful Scent
This sweet smelling, evergreen spreader is tough as nails. Very drought tolerant in part shade in 9b. Cuttings root easily in water. Nice greenery in bouquets.
