The dense, clustered blooms with delicate, four-petaled flowers create a beautiful, carpet-like display that covers the evergreen foliage. The plant maintains its dark green, narrow leaves year-round, providing texture and color even when not in bloom. This compact, mounding perennial is perfect for rock gardens, border edges, and cascading over walls. It blooms profusely in early spring and is a magnet for bees and butterflies, making it an essential plant for any pollinator garden.
