Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also known as pavonius, it is acclaimed as one of the finest species; forming dense mounds of tight foliage and ample pink flowers with a buff reverse on short stems that completely obscure the foliage. At it's best the cushions are very tight, grassy leaves, it's no microlepis but much more indestructible in nature.
