Penngift quickly increases by sending out shoots above and below ground, producing neat, billowy green foliage, no higher than 20 inches, and masses of shell-pink blooms from June until frost.
The flowers arise in almost uncountable numbers, clustered in crown-shaped posies atop the spring-green foliage. Each bloom is just 1/2 inch across, but even a small planting creates nearly a solid carpet of undulating pink all summer long! 25 plants will cover 100 square feet of ground, and they are totally maintenance-free!
Sow in sunny ground. If extra-quick coverage is needed, try combining 1 pound of Crownvetch seed with 1 pound of annual ryegrass seed; this mixture will cover 1,000 square feet. Fertilize with a low nitrogen mixture such as 5-10-10. Pkt is 1,000 seeds.
