I had never much cared for muscari, but the previous occupant planted it. I think now that it\'s pretty cool.

Nepeta Snowflake. It is by far the earliest nepeta to bloom, stays short, and winds its way around other plants to function as a ground cover. I use it as a weed barrier, especially around roses. It actually eliminates the need for mulch. It will actually stretch six or eight feet in my new garden. In my old garden it clumped.
