About this plant
A compact but fervent flower. The little flowers are held on sturdy stems well above the foliage mound. They are coloured a warm crimson plum shade. They have long irregular outer petals and masses of smaller petals at the heart with pink anthers visible at close examination. The flowers move and sway on their stems. Its compact size means that it can be overwhelmed by large plants so position where it has space. Excellent in a gravel garden or a rockery.
