Adapable groundcover plants that grow in most types of soil and in sunny or partially shaded areas, with flowers appearing mid-summer. Sow seeds or divide plants in fall or spring.

This plant makes a great ground cover. Grows to 18" high and spreads about the same, though the stems root quite easily when touching the ground. Flowers are usually purple, but can also be found in white, pink, mauve and bloom in spring and summer. Best cultivated in sun to part shade in moist but well draining soil. Propagate by division or seed. Hardy zones 5-9.
