Stunning with a range of colours, including yellow, pink, orange, salmon, and red. The blend features unusual bicolours too. High resistance to the effects of drought. An excellent choice for rock gardens, sandy banks, and containers
Extremely productive. Any pot or border looks brighter and more cheerful with these happy, vibrant flowers. They thrive best when they are exposed to direct sunlight, which creates an excellent environment for butterflies.
