This is a delightful little shrub that can be kept in a pot and positioned on a patio, as well as being well-suited to a bed or border. The ‘Tricolor’ really does put on a colourful show with its vibrant foliage and glowing flowers: the leaves are dark green in colour with pink margins and creamy splashes and the flowers are cup-shaped and golden yellow. This creeping plant is also great for groundcover, or if you do choose to plant it in a pot it will spill over the edges which makes an attractive ‘waterfall’ look.
