Incredibly long-flowering and prolific, this new cultivar is just as reliable as the much-loved species, but it has slightly larger, lavender coloured flowers. A must-have plant for a sunny spot with freely draining soils, it will soon form a spreading carpet of colour that will last from May to October - if not even longer!
