Culture Notes
This is basically an evergreen plant with reddish stems that forms a dense mat. It's a good choice for planting in the front of a border or as an edging plant. Cut back after blooming to keep its shape and encourage new growth. Although primary blooming occurs in the spring, sporadic flowering occurs until the fall months. Root division can be done in the spring. Seeds can be gathered in the summer. In the spring, remove dead foliage only and shear lightly.
