This pretty 4-8" tall carpeter covers itself with 1-2" rose-pink flower spikes July into fall; a wonderful drought-tolerant alternative mounder; dies back in fall in colder areas. Sun/Med-Dry

Similar to the species but a much shorter form of Himilayan Indigo that makes a terrific dense, low-growing shrub. Tolerates some drought and some shade. Generally doesn't like hot, humid summers but got through the summer here in 7A inside the greenhouse and it doesn't get much worse than that as hot and humid goes.

From an increasingly large group of pea shrubs now available for gardens, this is one of the best we have found in some time. Remaining under a foot in height but spreading or spilling to several feet with delicate, compound leaves of under an inch and intense rose flowers over a very long season from spring through fall. A lover of moderately rich soil, this is a must-have for container or the sunny border that receives at least occasional summer water. Trim once a year to maintain desired shape. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7.
