Sugar pink tepals (petals) each with a smattering of paler freckles and a creamy reverse, surround a crown of burgundy anthers, creating showy flowers that appear repeatedly throughout the summer. Compact and easy to grow, it's ideal for pots or smaller gardens.

Garden care: In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
