A plethora of pretty pink pom poms garnish short neddlelike green leaves, which sculpt a tidy tigthtset mound. Bobbing on tough, wiry leafless stems well above the grassy evergreen cushions, dense flower heads are described by minute spiky blooms and papery bracts.

This cute little European gem maintains a well-groomed guise in spite of seaside conditions and poor soil. It appreciates free drainage, benefits from deadheading and makes an undemanding addition to small scale plantings, the rockery or a pot.

Blooms May–June.

Size: 6" high x 8" wide.
