A recent introduction with very compact growth and masses of small deep pink flowers in late spring. Not really a groundcover but a spreading patch to 15cm high. More or less evergreen and would suit a shady rockery or path edging in a shady place.
Collected on the mountain of Mytikas in Greece by Austrian nurseryman Franz Praskac in 1990.
