A beautiful low mounding groundcover. Mine are tucked into a corner of our stone patio and are sending long shoots into the shaded portion of their bed (how do plants know where to look for shade?). They appear to want to climb up the wall and fence but do not actually attach themselves as a vine does.

Moderate growth rate, requires little or no attention.
