This soil hugging perennial seems to thrive in impoverished and hungry shallow soils – carpeting the ground in a gorgeous profusion of bloom in early Spring. Plant in crevices of walls or on a steep bank to flow down in a waterfall cascade of colour. Offered as a new mixed colour selection that includes crimson, violet, purple, lavender blue, pink and intermediate shades.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects, this perennial expects to grow to approximately 6” (15cm) tall. Ideal for beds, borders and patio containers. Prefers full sun or partial shade. Flowering: June-September

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
