This is a charming variety that closely resembles the showy Primrose (O. speciosa). But it is much more compact and has brilliant, deep pink flowers with prominent yellow stamens that are produced in great abundances throughout the summer. The small grey green foliage takes on a burgundy hue with the onset of cold weather. It's trailing growth makes it ideal to grow as a ground-cover at the front of a border, trailing beneath taller plant and tumbling over walls, walkways and containers. |
