Another chance seedling from the nursery, so attractive because of its pure pale pink flowers, borne on rapidly spreading plants. The flower structure is lovely with a perfectly rounded shape and overlapping petals. Semi shade, well drained humus rich soil. 15cm (6"). A good plant for a semi woodland site where it may become dormant if the weather gets too hot or dry.
