Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This little known species is a gem. It blooms continuously until temperatures dip to freezing, developing purple tinged stems in cooler weather that look fantastic with the eyed flowers of lavender and cream. Dripping with cottage garden charm, we wouldn't be without this graceful wildling. Cuttings over winter on the cool windowsill quite well.
