Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Early summer saturated deep rose-pink flowers attract butterflies, are lightly fragrant, fine-leafed, and evergreen. This compact cushion is at home in dry gravel beds, rock gardens, banks, walls, bright borders or in containers. It's grateful for full sun, or partial shade, with free-draining soil or compost, and will give you a carpet of stunning color in return. Little other color is required when this is around. 4" high, 8" wide. Feel free to trim back when blooms are finished. Minimum temperature: -30 °F
