Read detailed description :

A compact shrub for dry land. The persistant leaves are grey-green. Pink flowers with a red and yellow heart appear in May-June. These large two-toned flowers are 6 to 7cm in diameter. Each of the five light purple-pink petals is marked with a purple-red mark at the base. The heart of the flower has a lovely little bunch of stamens with yellow coloured anthers. Flowering is renewed each day, covering the ground with petals.
