    Compact and uniform in habit and flowering. Flowers cover the foliage in summer. Tolerates a wide range of conditions. Long-lived.

    Generous amounts of water in summer. Keep on dry side during autumn and winter. Remove faded blooms.

    Great for pathway edgings, border fronts, and rock gardens.
