It can’t be all bling all the time - you need plants like this in the garden. Yes, it’s subtle, but a garden needs balance! A mob of flashy flowers can actually be quite boring - one needs some contrast & texture, not just gigantoid blooms. This wee, long blooming & tough plant provides a flattering foil for more conspicuous neighbors. Blooming all Summer, this little mat forming perennial is perfect for edging. Growing 4-8” tall, the cloud of stems are topped by fine pale pink flowers like a miniature “Baby’s Breath”! Native to Southern Europe, Asia Minor & Iran it’s long lived in our Mediterranean climate & very tolerant of regular clayish garden soil – no special concessions for extra drainage need be made.
