Koeleria glauca, commonly known as blue hair grass, is a grass species of the genus Koeleria. It grows in dunes and other sandy places. It is mainly distributed in eastern Central Europe, with its western outposts in the coastal dunes of Jutland and inland dunes in the Rhine Valley
Pachysandra terminalis, commonly called Japanese pachysandra, is a shrubby, evergreen ground cover that grows 8-12" high and spreads by rhizomes to form a dense carpet of rich, dark green foliage. Oval leaves (2-4" long) appear primarily in whorls at the stem ends. Tiny white flowers in 1-2" long, terminal (hence the species name) spikes bloom in early spring. Flowers are not particularly showy, but on close inspection are quite attractive.
Genus's name comes from the Greek words pachys meaning thick and aner or Andros meaning stamen concerning the thickened white filaments.

Extremely winter hardy, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Vancouver Jade' (Bearberry) is a slow-growing, creeping, evergreen shrub with trailing red stems studded with small, leathery, glossy, obovate, dark green leaves, up to 1 in. long (2.5 cm). The foliage turns red or purplish in winter before becoming green again in spring. Pretty clusters of lantern-shaped, white-to-pink flowers hang gracefully from the short red stems in mid to late spring. They last several weeks and are followed by edible, smooth and glossy berries which ripen to bright red in the fall. Slow to rot, the glistening fruits provide excellent emergency food for birds and mammals throughout winter. Introduced by the U.B.C. Botanical Gardens, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Vancouver Jade' is more disease resistant than the species.
Bearberry makes a very attractive ground cover where few other plants would be happy. Equally lovely when draped over the edge of walls or large rocks.
Rosa woodsii (Western Wild Rose) is an upright, deciduous, rhizomatous shrub with attractive, deep green pinnately compound leaves divided into 5-9 finely toothed leaflets. In spring, its new canes emerge red and are lined with prickles on their lower portions. In late spring to mid-summer, a profusion of very fragrant, single, pink to lilac-pink, or lavender flowers, up to 4 in. across (10 cm), are borne in small clusters. The flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators. They are followed by abundant fleshy, red, round, or pear-shaped hips that generally persist on the bush throughout the winter. The hips are a source of vitamin C and are dried for use in flavoring teas, jellies, fruitcakes, and puddings. Many birds and mammals feast on them. Rosa woodsii produces flowers and fruits at about 2-5 years of age. Good crops are usually produced every 2 years. Long-lived, Western Wild Rose sometimes forms nearly impenetrable thickets thanks to its shallow, frequently branching fibrous roots. It is effective in erosion control, but can also be used as an ornamental near homes to attract birds and other wildlife.
Carex pensylvanica, commonly called Pennsylvania sedge, is a shade-loving perennial sedge that is native to thickets and dry woodland areas in Eastern and Central North America from Quebec to Manitoba south to Mississippi and Georgia. In Missouri, it is found mostly north of the Missouri River in dry to mesic upland forests and shaded bluff ledges (Steyermark). It typically grows in loose colonies with a creeping habit. The roots are reddish brown. It is often found in areas with oak trees, hence the additional common name of oak sedge. This is a low sedge with soft, delicate, arching, semi-evergreen leaves (each to 1/8" wide). It typically grows in a clump to 8" tall. It is semi-evergreen in moderately cold winter climates. Narrow, grass-like, medium green leaves (to 8-12" long) are typically shorter than the flowering stems. Plants are monoecious (spikelets of male flowers above female flowers). Flowers bloom in late spring (May) in inflorescences atop rough, sharply triangular culms (stems) which rise singly from the rhizomes. Staminate scales are green often tinged with reddish-purple with white margins. Pistillate scales are dark brown to purplish black with green midribs and white margins. Female flowers are followed by tiny fruits (achenes) enclosed in sac-like bracts (perigynia).
Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen' (Japanese Spurge) is a shrubby, evergreen ground cover with extraordinarily shiny, slightly curled, oval leaves, 2-4 in. long (5-10 cm). Growing via underground runners to form a dense carpet of rich foliage, 'Green Sheen' is a less aggressive spreader than species plants. Tiny white flower spikes appear in mid to late spring, but the real added value of this plant is its attractive foliage. Exceptional performance in deep shade or underneath mature shade trees where grass doesn't grow. 'Green Sheen' is more tolerant of hot climates.
