A new species only recently described with nice evergreen foliage and a rhizomatous creeping habit, flowers are reasonably large with lilac inner sepals surrounded by much longer white spurs suffused and streaked pink at the base. ZONE 5

Although the blooms are pretty, there aren't too many of them but the foliage makes more than up for it; dark green and heavily toothed, almost like holly. Being spreading, drought tolerant and evergreen, this is a first rate ground cover plant.
