'Doris' is a modern pink with scented, double, pale pink flowers with darker pink centres. It blooms right through the summer, deadheading will help to keep plants looking tidy and also to prolong the season. The silvery-green foliage makes a good background for the mass of pink flowers, but even when not in flower the low creeping evergreen mats make a good background for surrounding plants.
