This is one of the longest flowering perennials available. You will enjoy months of saucer-shaped blooms of bright magenta purple. It is a low growing plant that produces mounds of foliage making it ideal for mass planting groundcover, edging a border, or for planting in containers. Prefers full sun or partial shade in free draining soil or compost. Traditionally used in the border to spread, but is equally happy in a large container.
