A new selection of Spanish Shawl which produces light purplish-pink flowers and has a longer flowering season than the more common purple flowered variety. The 1" blooms are born along trailing stems and contrast nicely with the bronze colored pointed foliage. Makes a beautiful hanging basket, container plant, or ground cover.
