Description

The beautifully formed, long petalled flowers are rose-pink with dark crimson markings between the conspicuous ‘auricles’. The ‘ivy-leaved’ foliage quickly follows the emergence of the flowers, usually in September, and makes attractive ground cover until the following spring. Plant in drifts for the very best effect, in any light to medium soil in sun or partial shade. Annual top dressing with well made leaf-mould or pine needles will give superb results.
