Cymbalaria muralis 'Nana' (Cymbalaria muralis 'Nana'), known affectionately as Kenilworth Ivy or Ivy-Leaved Toadflax, is a delightfully charming, fine-textured, mat-forming perennial that enchants with a continuous, prolific display of tiny, snapdragon-like flowers in soft lilac-purple with a distinctive yellow throat — produced in such generous, uninterrupted abundance above a trailing carpet of small, rounded, ivy-shaped leaves that the plant appears almost perpetually in full flower throughout the growing season. 'Nana' is a compact, more restrained selection of the species, perfectly scaled for rock garden crevices, wall planting, pathway edging, and container spillover where its delicate, self-seeding, naturalistic character creates a soft, cottage-garden veil of fine-textured foliage and continuous tiny bloom. The rounded, kidney-shaped leaves are glossy, fresh green, and remain ornamentally attractive throughout the season as a refined, delicate foliage backdrop for the perpetual succession of soft lilac flowers.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to spread and establish into its characteristic trailing, freely rooting habit. 'Nana' excels in rock garden crevices, wall plantings, shaded pathway edges, and the trailing edges of containers and hanging baskets where its delicate, self-seeding, naturalistic spreading character creates a softening, romantic veil of fine-textured foliage and continuous tiny bloom. It is particularly beautiful cascading over the edges of stone walls, filling gaps between pavers, and softening the hard lines of raised beds and retaining walls with a naturalistic, wildflower-like grace that improves with each season.

  • Continuous Tiny Lilac-Purple Snapdragon Blooms: Small, snapdragon-like lilac-purple flowers with a yellow throat are produced in prolific, uninterrupted abundance above the trailing foliage mat from spring through fall — one of the most continuously and generously flowering small-scale ground cover perennials available for shaded and partly shaded garden positions.
  • Delicate, Fine-Textured Trailing Habit: Small, rounded, glossy green ivy-shaped leaves trail and root freely to create a delicate, fine-textured, naturalistic carpet of fresh green foliage — a refined, softening ground cover that fills crevices, wall joints, and paving gaps with an authentic, wildflower-character grace.
  • Superb Rock Garden & Wall Plant: Naturalizes beautifully in wall crevices, rock garden joints, and paving gaps — rooting into the smallest available spaces and creating a self-sustaining, self-seeding colony of soft foliage and continuous bloom that softens hard surfaces with natural, romantic character.
  • Self-Seeding Naturalization: Self-seeds freely in suitable moist, shaded conditions, establishing expanding colonies in wall crevices, paving joints, and shaded garden edges — a plant with a wonderful, spontaneous cottage-garden generosity that makes itself at home in the most charming and unexpected of garden spaces.
  • Shade & Part-Shade Tolerant: Thrives in conditions from full shade to bright filtered light — one of the most delicately beautiful shade-tolerant flowering ground cover perennials available for shaded walls, woodland garden edges, and the lower-light positions of mixed container and border arrangements.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in partial shade to full shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types but appreciates consistent moisture for best growth and prolific flowering. Water regularly, keeping soil evenly moist. USDA Hardiness Zones 3–9; mature height: 2–4 inches; spread: 12–24 inches, spreading freely by rooting stems and self-seeding. Bloom time: spring through fall. A light trim after the main bloom flush encourages fresh growth; otherwise minimal maintenance required.
