    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    New, showy and hardy to zone 6! I really enjoyed this cheerful succulent groundcover in our demo gardens last year with its profusion of 1.5” shimmery lavender-pink flowers punched up with those surprising white eyes. Tidy and mat forming to only 2” tall and about 2’ across, it’s quite the fun and splashy edger blooming in Spring and again in Fall. Low maintenance, drought tolerant and deer resistant! Swell in a container, too!
