This very fast growing groundcover grows to 16″ high and 16″ wide. It thrives in shade or semi-shade. It has fuzzy, crinkled leaves with purple veins. The leaves are aromatic hence the common name of Vicks Plant (reminiscent of the menthol in Vick’s Vapor Rub). It produces tiny little white or purple flowers. It is an ideal plant for a hanging basket on a patio or in a container under trees. It has a lovely drooping habit as it scampers over the edge of containers.
