Nierembergia - Purple Robe
Nierembergia (Nierembergia Hippomanica Purple Robe) - Also called Cupflower, this excellent ground cover plant has early, bright blooms of blue-violet or dark purple. The mounding foliage has a fern-like appearance, is vigorous, and free-flowering all summer long. Makes a wonderful addition next to other bedding-plants as it will not take over, but it fills its own space.
