Ajuga
Ajuga reptans is a sprawling perennial herb with erect flowering stems and grows to a height of about 4 to 14 in. The stems are squarish with hairs on two sides and the plant has runners that spread across the surface of the ground. The purplish-green, stalked leaves are in opposite pairs. The leaf blades are hairless and are elliptical or ovate with a rounded tip and shallowly rounded teeth on the margin.
Nasturtium
The leaf stalks are long and in many species are able to twine round other stems to provide support. The flowers are bisexual and showy, set singly on long stalks in the axils of the leaves. They have five sepals, the uppermost of which is elongated into a nectar spur. The five petals are clawed, with the lower three unlike the upper two. The fruit is naked and nut-like, with three single seed segments.
Climbing Fig
As the common name, "climbing fig" indicates, the plant has a creeping/vining habit and is often used in gardens and landscapes where it covers the ground and climbs up trees and walls growing to 8 ft 2 in–13 ft 1 in. The juvenile foliage is much smaller and thinner than mature leaves produced as the plant ages. The aerial roots secrete a translucent latex that hardens on drying, allowing the sticks to adhere to their support.
Lambs Ear
Lamb's-ear plants are perennial herbs usually densely covered with gray or silver-white, silky-lanate hairs. They are named lamb's ears because of the leaves' curved shape and white, soft, fur-like hair coating. Flowering stems are erect, often branched, and tend to be 4-angled, growing 40–80 cm tall. The leaves are thick and somewhat wrinkled, densely covered on both sides with gray-silver colored, silky-lanate hairs; the undersides are more silver-white in color than the top surfaces. The leaves are arranged oppositely on the stems and 5 to 10 cm long.
Mexican Daisy
It is a vigorous, spreading perennial plant growing from woody rhizomes to a maximum height of 5.9 in. Its leaves are located along the stem, the basal leaves dying off as the plant bolts. They are sometimes slightly toothed or lobed near the tips. The inflorescences hold one or more flower heads which are each about 0.4 inches wide. They have golden yellow disc florets in the center surrounded by a fringe of up to 80 white to pinkish ray florets. It is frequently grown in crevices in walls or paving, where it rapidly spreads to provide a carpet of flowers.
Rosemary
Rosemary is an aromatic evergreen shrub with leaves similar to hemlock needles. It is native to the Mediterranean and Asia, but is reasonably hardy in cool climates. It can withstand droughts, surviving a severe lack of water for lengthy periods. In some parts of the world, it is considered a potentially invasive species.[3] The seeds are often difficult to start, with a low germination rate and relatively slow growth, but the plant can live as long as 30 years. The plant flowers in spring and summer in temperate climates, but the plants can be in constant bloom in warm climates; flowers are white, pink, purple or deep blue.
