The story

Neon pink, clove scented.

Vivid hot-pink flowers with a clove scent sit right on top of a tight cushion of frosty blue-green leaves. The foliage stays good-looking most of the year.

Light

Full sun.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. After that, sparingly.

Planting

Plant in spring or early fall, crown at soil level, never buried. Gritty, slightly alkaline soil suits it.

Fragrant, long-blooming color for the very front of the bed, with foliage that pulls its weight off-season.
