Plant description

A dwarf, lightly suckering shrub with compact foliage covered in clusters of perfumed bright pink-mauve bells most of the year, especially in spring and autumn. The massed flowers are especially attractive to butterflies. Blends beautifully with other small shrubs in cottage garden settings, and makes a particularly striking container plant .
