Description

A small ornamental herbaceous plant prized for its lush and elegant blooms, which appear from early autumn until the end of spring in a profusion of small flowers.

Its compact growth habit makes it perfect for use in landscaping, in flowerbeds or borders, as well as for decorating balconies and terraces in planters or pots, even when combined with other species.

Resistant to low winter temperatures, it adds a splash of colour at times when other plants are often dormant.
