  Often sold as H. 'Wisley Pink' this pretty, sprawling shrub looks great tumbling over the edges of a stone wall or terracotta pot. It thrives in hot, sunny spots and becomes drought tolerant once established, so will thrive in difficult to fill positions. The pink flowers are infused with yellow at their centre and look very pretty against the grey-green foliage. Each flower will only last for one day, but in the right conditions it can produce so many flowers that the plant is covered in them for many weeks.
  
  
• Garden Care: Prune in mid to late summer after flowering, cutting back any straggly stems.
