This excellent perennial produces numerous five-petalled flowers from dark red buds during late spring and early to mid-summer. The flowers stand above attractive, aromatic, lobed foliage, which remains semi-evergreen and can develop attractive reddish tones during the colder months. With its low-growing, spreading habit, 'Karmina' is particularly useful as ground cover, border edging, underplanting and for filling gaps between larger plants.
