We’ve started growing this species in hopes of finding another low-growing species that is both deer and rabbit resistant. Pretty lavender flowers resemble petunias. Grows to 1’ tall, good for edges or can form a groundcover in sunny gardens. Prefers well-draining soils. A reliable self-seeder, but not problematic.
