The flowers are only 1.5–2 cm in diameter, but they appear in such abundance that at the height of flowering the cushion is almost entirely red. This variety has a carmine colour, deeper and warmer than the pink forms of the species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is fully frost-hardy, tolerates drought, poor and stony soil, and even light foot traffic. After the main flowering period, if it is trimmed back, it often flowers again in late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eStep-by-step cultivation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (April – May, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the small seeds in trays or plug trays, covering them only lightly with compost or sand. At a temperature of 15–18°C, seedlings emerge after 7–14 days. You can also sow directly outdoors in May–June, in a well-prepared, weed-free bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings develop their first pair of true leaves, prick them out into pots or a nursery bed at approximately 8 × 8 cm spacing. They grow slowly – do not worry if little seems to happen during the first few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (July – August):\u003c\/strong\u003e plant the young plants in their permanent position at 20 × 25 cm spacing, in well-drained, rather poor soil – sandy or gravelly, with added lime. In heavy soil, add coarse sand or fine gravel. The first flowers will appear the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e virtually none: no fertiliser is needed, and water only during prolonged drought. After flowering, it is worth shortening the stems by 1\/3 – the plants become denser and often flower again. Every 4–5 years, the clumps can be divided and rejuvenated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic for \u003cstrong\u003erock gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edry-stone walls\u003c\/strong\u003e, for planting \u003cstrong\u003ebed edges\u003c\/strong\u003e, gaps between paving slabs and slopes, and as a \u003cstrong\u003eground cover plant\u003c\/strong\u003e in sunny, dry places where grass will not grow.
