I have this plant as ground cover in full sun. It has been doing great for about 8 month, (over the "winter"). It is now covered with the cutest little white flowers. It spreads great.

Had this plant in both of my folage pots by the front door last year and just got one pot to split for them this year.
It did very well until it was frost-bitten.
I love the silver/green leaves with burgandy undersides.
It's a proven winner. It also spills over edge of pot and trails nicely.
