This only flowers rarely - and not many flowers when it does!
Comments on this photo
Yes, it does. But, I seem to have several patches of this plant - and I rarely get flowers! The leaves do have a lovely texture, though.

Next time I see it I will get the name of it for you, as I had the yellow one at one of my previous houses, and when I seen the pink I thought hmmm I ll try the pink this time. here is a link go to the silever carpet one. on this page.

It's not exactly great for its flowers Spritz but the foliage is softest grey and makes up for it.

Perfetly true, Linda - and easy to remove when it spread too far!
