• Position: full sun or lightly dappled shade

  A delightful, floriferous creeping semi-evergreen perennial, perfect for scrambling through dry gravel beds, rock gardens, banks, walls, borders or frothing over the edges of pots and containers. ‘Rosea’ has tiny, 5-petalled blooms in delicate shades of white and pinkish purple that emerge from tightly formed buds.
  
  
• Garden care: Keep this alpine evenly moist and feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season (May to September). Once the flowers have faded, trim to maintain form. Once established, lift and divide clumps in autumn.
