Its neat, mat forming habit helps to cover soil, soften hard edges and bring a natural, relaxed feel to planting. MacDaniel’s Cushion is reliable, easy to grow and offers year round structure through its evergreen leaves.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
