This native of southwestern Europe was awarded the RHS Award of Garden merit for good reason. It is an extremely hardy plant, and excellent candidate for rock gardens , rock walls and virtually any other area that needs a semi-evergreen trailing plant. In early summer, short sprays of pink flowers carpet the plant for up to three weeks, bringing in the bees and butterflies. Although unable to withstand heavy foot traffic, it can be used between stepping stones.
