Description

This vibrant and pest resistant marvel puts on a show from Summer to Fall. For months this low growing mounded plant covers itself in countless magenta blooms with dark maroon veins running up each delicate petal. Its flowers are a vivid hot pink and eye-catching while its deep green foliage is attractive all on its own. 'Pink Penny' isn't bothered by rabbits and can stand a wide range of soil qualities.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
