What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the robust health and excellent packaging of the Cymbalaria muralis from White Flower Farm. Reviewers confirm the plant establishes quickly, thriving even in difficult spots like stone walls. The charming purple flowers effectively soften hardscapes. The primary theme, however, centers on its vigorous growth habit. While many appreciate its dense groundcover ability, others caution that its aggressive self-seeding requires active management to prevent unwanted colonization. This hardiness is a double edged sword. While initial quality is high, some buyers feel the premium price is slightly high given the plant's inherent ease of propagation. Overall, WFF delivers a top tier specimen if buyers are prepared for its enthusiastic spread.
