Default Pin Cushion groundcover...can you help me find out more?

Rowe wrote in message ...
I just picked up a fantastic little plant at the grocery store, in all
my years haunting local nurseries and poring over seed and plant
catalogs I've never seen anything like it. Unfortunately, the tag
doesn't give a great deal of information, only the name "Pin Cushion"
and the fact that it's a shade tolerant ground cover. It's not a
Scabiosa (Scabious?) it looks for all the world like Baby's Tears
covered with tiny, shiny orange berries. There are also varieties with
yellow or white berries.

Can anyone here tell me the scientific name for it or give me any advice
about growing it? It's a fabulous little plant and I want it to succeed
in my garden.


I saw it in a local nursery (Molbaks, in Woodinville, Washington), but
now I forgot its scientific name. I remember more sunshine results in
more orange berries.

If you want, you can contact Molbaks directly
(http://www.molbaks.com/) and ask the staffs or wait for a few more
days if nobody else answers you. I was just there the past weekend.

Thanks for your time
