Low mats of evergreen foliage, with flowerstalks rising above in mid-spring. I hope our 'Pink Ridge', which is still a tentative young plant, will become more vigorous with age and cover some more ground. Meanwhile, our more recently acquired 'Sherwood Purple' has already spread itself around nicely.

|
| | This is 'Home Fires', growing underneath our back-yard Kwanzan cherry and nicely echoing the pink in the dropped cherry blossoms. |
|
| | I like the hairy buds, too (on 'Pink Ridge') |

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
