Notes

Easy to grow. Many worthwhile varieties including 'Brilliant', 'Zing Rose' and 'Arctic Fire'. Tolerant of most soil types. Can be grown with minimal water in heavier soil. Can be used as a ground cover but will withstand only very light foot traffic. Excellent heat resistance, moderate growth rate.
