Description
Vigorous herbaceous perennial with abundant and decorative foliage; the semi-recumbent or ground cover makes it ideal for planters or hanging baskets, also in compositions with other ornamental species, as well as for creating dense monochrome ground covers in flower beds. Rustic, it tolerates high and low temperatures well, adapting to both full sun and half shade. Easy to grow, it requires soil free of waterlogging.
