This Latin American wildflower produces pink and white flowers from May all the way to September and attracts beneficial insects, butterflies, moths, bees, and other pollinators. It is a perennial that grows to 40cm tall and 40cm wide in full sun and a well-drained soil.
This plant won't thrive in our local clayey soil but it will do well in a well-drained container or on a wall or in a rockery.
