Description
Low-growing spreader creates a blanket of flowers and foliage.This stunning ground cover grows just about anywhere with very little effort. Bright, cheery lavender-blue flowers bloom profusely in late spring amid the needle-like, semi-evergreen leaves to create a lush carpet, even in poor, dry, sandy soil. Looks fabulous in borders and creeping over rock gardens! When contrasting colours are planted together they create a patchwork of glorious hues that flood your landscape for a breathtaking effect.
