Combines the best of both worlds: bright pink flowers and a trailing habit. With a long bloom time and creeping habit, this plant makes an excellent container plant or a groundcover. A large red spot in the center of lime-green leaves will draw your eye from across the garden! Blooms from late spring until frost here.
