Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From ‘down under’ New Zealand, the foliage on this reminds me of Red Velvet Cake…evergreen mounds 4-6” tall spreading out to 18-24” create a dark, delicate, small scale ground cover in well drained, organic rich soil. Full to half day sun and regular water make this happy. White flowers float above the foliage in late spring and summer. Enjoys coastal conditions and moist rock gardens.
