Phuopsis
stylosa
One of those unsung heroes of the
garden. The 9in tall mat-forming ground cover plants have attractive
narrow leaved stems from spring onwards. These are topped with heads of
starry pink flowers in summer. Tough and forgiving, good in sun or light
shade. Hardy.
The leaves are aromatic when crushed. I
quite like the rather pungent smell.
From the Caucasus, Asia Minor and Iran.
