Description
An evergreen perennial herb that forms dense mats of rosette-shaped foliage, dotted in spring with an early profusion of slightly fragrant flowers – either double or single, with four white, pink or purple petals, depending on the variety. Hardy, it requires a sunny position in well-drained soil. It is suitable as a ground cover or trailing plant, and also works well in combinations with other ornamental species.
