Of all the woodland and shade loving ground cover plants this has to be the most popular. A lovely unusual pale pink variety. Quickly spreading to form large mats it easily suppresses even the most aggressive weeds. Spectacularly scented clusters of bell-like flowers just add to its charm and appeal. An excellent all round plant.
