About this plant
This has quite small salmon-pink flowers. These are rather rounded with a deep pink eye. They sit on needle-like dark green foliage that makes a dense and spreading carpet. This flowers from April to June and, when in full flower, the foliage is smothered in bloom.

Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
