Crimson Beauty is a low-growing perennial that typically reaches heights of 4-6 inches. Its compact habit and spreading growth make it an ideal choice for ground covers, rock gardens, and along pathways. The narrow, evergreen leaves retain their vibrant green hue throughout the year, providing year-round interest.
This easy-care plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant, making it a low-maintenance addition to any landscape. Regular watering during extended dry spells is recommended, especially during the blooming period.
Crimson Beauty is a versatile plant that can be easily incorporated into various garden designs. Its showy blooms and compact size make it a popular choice for cottage gardens, woodland settings, and containers. It also attracts pollinators, such as butterflies and bees, adding an extra touch of beauty and ecological value to the garden.
When planting Crimson Beauty, space the plants 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and spread. Water deeply after planting and mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering throughout the spring.
