This striking cultivar brings deep wine-red blooms to a versatile groundcover that thrives in challenging spots. Dark, glossy evergreen leaves create year-round interest while the plant spreads into a thick, weed-suppressing carpet. Equally at home in full sun or dense shade—even beneath established trees—it's a reliable choice for difficult garden areas.
