Plant description:
Size and shape varies from round bushes up to 700mm to low-creeping ground covers. Flowers, in shades of pink, purple, orange and yellow, have a glistening sheen to the petals. Spring-flowering vygies are a must for dry gardens. Provided they have good drainage, vygies will thrive, with the bushes becoming entirely covered in flowers.
