Description:
A bright idea to combine two colours in the one pot gave birth to Happy Duo™. The blend of Happy Wanderer™ with Free ‘n Easy (PBR) is a combo that’s irresistible. Used as a ground cover, it’s spectacular in full bloom over winter; and for the rest of the year, you have a handsome dark green mound that only requires the occasional chopping back to keep it looking good. Or train it over a pergola or veranda for a delicious froth of purple and white that will have your neighbours green with envy. Plenty of sunshine and good drainage is all it asks.
