Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A small, evergreen, perennial, suckering sub-shrub with dark green, sparsely toothed, heart shaped leaves. Bearing from Autumn through to early summer a profusion of bright, cherry pink, masked shaped flowers on wirey stems. One of the best small plants for winter colour, rivaled only by the perennial Nemesias. Cut back to ground level whenever in need of a tidy up. Well drained soil with good sun.
