Description: A great groundcover plant and I love the mix of coloured flowers on each stem. I do have a white one but it is still a baby. I also know a garden with a navy blue one which I am hoping to take some seedlings from later in the year.

In my garden they do, but not invasively. They form a nice clump, however, in the UK they do tend to suffer from mildew later in the season, so what I do is once they have finished flowering, I cut them right down to the ground. You are then rewarded within a couple of weeks with a lovely flush of new leaves and sometimes a second flurry of flowers.

I just put these in last year and I already love them.Do these spread pretty quickly?
