Perennial Peanut - A Groundcover Gem for Your Garden
About the Bloom
The Perennial Peanut may not have showy blooms, but its bright yellow flowers add a cheerful touch to your garden from spring to fall. These flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators, making them a beneficial addition to any landscape. The Perennial Peanut's blooms are a subtle yet charming feature that enhance the overall beauty of your garden.
What to Know About the Plant
The Perennial Peanut is an evergreen groundcover plant with small, dark green leaves that form a dense mat, perfect for suppressing weeds and adding texture to your garden. This plant is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for busy gardeners. It grows to a height of 6-12 inches and spreads up to 2-3 feet, creating a lush carpet of greenery that stays vibrant year-round.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Integrate the Perennial Peanut into your fruitscape to create a dynamic mix of edibles and ornamentals. Pair this groundcover gem with fruit trees like Citrus, Fig, and Pomegranate to add height and structure to your garden while enjoying a bountiful harvest. Mix in berry plants such as Strawberries and Blueberries for pops of color and juicy treats. Tropicals like Banana and Pineapple plants bring a tropical flair to your garden, complementing the Perennial Peanut's lush foliage. Herbs like Mint and Oregano provide aromatic accents and culinary delights, enhancing the sensory experience of your outdoor space. By combining these plants, you can create a vibrant and diverse landscape that is both visually appealing and productive.

Landscaping with Grasses
These grasses are so incredibly lovely to use in the landscape because they can be used in so many ways. They can border a bed or be the centerpiece. They can be scattered throughout to create tuffs of texture to contrast your shrubs and trees. Or they can be neatly mixed in with flowers to accentuate the colors and shapes. We love these grasses because of all the fun we have planting them and watching them grow to be such a joy.
Recommended Fertilizers for Planting and Maintenance
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Grasses will do well when fertilized each year with Espoma Organic Palm-tone Fertilizer
Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Grasses, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
