It spreads gradually to create an attractive carpet of evergreen foliage, making it an excellent choice for filling gaps between paving, softening path edges or covering sunny banks and rockeries. During summer, small, understated flowers are followed by distinctive burr-like seed heads that add further texture and interest. The colourful foliage provides year-round appeal and contrasts beautifully with silver, green and flowering alpine plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Copper Carpet' provides lasting colour and texture even when few other alpines are in flower.
