A very floriferous plant, it offers a long flowering period, ideal for adding a bold splash of color to the garden or patio. Thanks to its small size, it fits perfectly into small spaces, containers, or border plantings. A highly decorative choice, easy to maintain, and very effective for a wow effect.
