This variety forms a dense "carpet" of flowers, making it a popular choice for rock gardens, borders, and hanging baskets.
Quick Profile
Height: Typically 3–6 inches, though some vigorous spreads can reach 8–12 inches.
Fragrance: Strong, honey-like scent that attracts bees and butterflies.
Bloom Season: Spring through fall; it excels in cooler weather but is bred to maintain color in warmer temperatures.
Cultivation Tips
Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. In very hot climates, afternoon shade helps prevent the color from fading.
Soil: Thrives in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, but requires regular moisture during germination. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Maintenance: Shear plants back by about one-third in mid-summer to encourage a fresh flush of blooms for late summer and fall.
