A rainbow of color begins with foliage emerging burgundy and adding pink, cream and gold as it matures; it continues with a long season of bright pink flowers; a dense, tidy habit keeps it looking winter-good. S/M PP17002

A profusion of rose-pink flowers from spring to fall on a compact mound of narrow, variegated foliage that is every bit as charming as the flowers, with its green leaves, white margins, and reddish pink tones and mottling throughout. Excellent heat and drought tolerance. Great for rock gardens, borders, and containers.
