The rich purple of this decorative low-growing perennial is made up of 3 leaflet. This forms a dense, ground-covering mound, which in summer, is topped with sprays of blush pink flowers. A colourful addition to a rock garden or raised bed, it also offers a long season of interest when potted up on the patio.
