It is the low growing/spreading type that are perennial here, they are a cross of two species. They do not reseed themselves, they are sterile, but, they do root very easily from cuttings.

Since our summers are very long the upright types are not 'fashionable' anymore, they only last about 3-4 months - you hardly ever see in the nurseries - they have been replaced by the trailing type. Over the past 5 years there have been more introductions (new colors) of the trailers, but, they are still not wildly popular.
