Mazus

Overview

Mazus reptans, commonly known as creeping mazus, is a low-growing perennial, thriving in USDA zones 5-8. Spreading eagerly to form a dense 2-inch tall mat, its green foliage is adorned with lavender-blue flowers in late spring. This groundcover flourishes in moist, well-drained soils and partial shade, but tolerates full sun. It’s ideal for filling gaps between stepping stones, given its moderate foot traffic resilience. Space plants 12 inches apart for a lush effect.
