A bushy, compact, mounding and trailing floriferous tender perennial usually grown as seasonal bedding or a patio plant. It has oval shaped, sticky and hairy mid-green leaves and produces jolly, velvety, trumpet-shaped, bright bubblegum pink flowers with creamy white central throats. It blooms from late spring or early summer into autumn. It trails or spreads around 30 cm to 40 cm so is ideal for hanging baskets and containers.
