- ABUNDANCE OF FLOWERS - This low growing shrub is a must have for hot, sunny borders and gravel gardens. From June to August the bright pink, tissue-paper blooms are borne in abundance.
- COPES IN POOR SOIL - This variety enjoys poor, dry soils where many plants would struggle, and copes well in coastal positions.
- UNUSUAL FLOWERS - These are papery-looking with a rich, golden-yellow eye and petals that are slightly crinkled towards the edges. It has a dense, rounded growth habit with pointed, dark green, textured foliage that compliments the flowers beautifully.
- EVENTUAL SIZE - This shrub grows to a maximum height and spread of 1m so its great for patio pots or indeed front to middle of borders.

Watering Water regularly after planting until the roots are established. Once settled in, the plant is relatively drought tolerant and usually only needs extra water during prolonged dry spells. Plants grown in containers will need more frequent watering than those growing in the ground.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
