Hi, I got this form my handy local catalog; sedum acre (stonecrop);sweet woodruff-galium odoratum,creeping thyme-thymus praecox or thymus serpyllum-;Coccineus(crimson red one;"Minus" dwarf type or "Nutmeg" (profuse pink)--you are probably going to get the first one-as the rest are pricey hybrids. Cannot help you with Joseph's Coat.

Joseph's coat info is here
Alternanthera ficoidea (Parrot Leaf, Joseph’s Coat
When I am needing info, like the scientific name, one of the quickest ways I know to get it (faster than looking up in my books) is to use my computer's search engine ...
I generally use Google, as it loads quickly and is so easy!!!

Put quotes around the essential part ex: "Joseph's Coat" and follow that w/ minimal clarifying words, in this case I added groundcover ... so "Joseph's Coat" groundcover was what went into the search request space - and voila - there it was. Hope this helps!!!
thank you.
