This sunny native groundcover brightens up baskets, perks up patio pots, adds sunshine to a shrub border. It's low and dense enough to make great weed-suppressing spring-summer colour when mass planted too.

Sun Drops loves the climate in the southern states, especially when it's planted in a rockery or light soils.
