Perennial shrub of horizontal growth, creeping shape. Height of extended branches up to 60-100 cm. Short leaves with rounded and soft tip, intense green color somewhat lighter on the underside. Delicate red colored flowers.
Excellent groundcover, is also cultivated in flower beds and planters and is increasingly common in Mediterranean gardens.
Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
