Flowering Fairy Gardens

By Jamie McIntosh, About.com Guide

You might consider elves and gnomes to be the masculine counterparts to fairies. If you want your fairy garden to appeal to the little boys in your life, choose a rugged flowering ground cover that will rebound from their eager foot traffic. Low growing flowers that tolerate some foot traffic include:

• Blue Star Creeper
• Creeping Lobelia
• Blue Moneywort
• Creeping Cinquefoil
