Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fuzzy grass-like short leaves arrive first, followed by bright, magenta-pink double flowers July - September. It is definitely one of the darlings! It prefers dry conditions in winter, but regular water in summer. About 4" tall, it begins as a small clump and eventually, slowly, spreads to form a tufted carpet of flowers. Sun or bright shade required for good flowering. Minimum temperature: 0 °F
