Spreading stems are clothed with rich green divided foliage forming handsome groundcover, which is topped with red-eyed apricot flowers throughout summer. An easy-going ground-covering plant that will happily colonise a sunny spot at the front of the border.
Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, as they flower best with good light and won’t thrive in waterlogged ground. Improve the planting area with garden compost to help moisture retention and establish the plant well. Water regularly during the first season, then only in prolonged dry spells once settled.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced fertiliser and apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure to keep the soil moist and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming through summer.
Lift and divide large clumps in autumn or spring, replanting vigorous sections to maintain shape and flowering performance. This keeps the plant healthy and prevents the centre becoming woody over time.
