Day 34

Arachis Glabrata

Ornamental Peanut

Hardy low-maintainance ground cover that is drought tolerant.  It is slow growing.  Because it's part of the peanut family it creates it's own nitrogen.  Therefore, there is no need for nitrogen fertilizers.  This perennial blooms from spring until the first frost, which in Florida means year round.  The flowers are the size of my pinky fingernail.  So tiny!
