A soft toned floral ground cover, perfectly suited for planting on its own or around shrubs and rose bushes. It prevents soil erosion, and is a great alternative to plastic or canvas sheeting to control weeds. Its fragrant blooms will attract large numbers of beneficial insects to provide natural aphid control.
