    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This cutie pie, evergreen, dense little mat is covered with small, fuchsia, cup-shaped flowers held upright on short, strong stems in May & June, just when your Spring bloomers are starting to fade. Very valuable in rock gardens, spilling over rock walls & as path edging. To 6” tall & 12” wide, they require part sun & moist, well-drained soil.
