It is a low spreading compact plant 5-10cm high, and it is densely covered with sweetly-scented, purple flowers. Leaves are medium green in color. Very free flowering. Perfect for lining walkways, borders, edgings, in rock gardens, between paving stones, and for containers or in window boxes. The plant is ideal for combining with other annuals in flower beds and baskets. The plant attracts butterflies and bees.
