Creamy-green variegated leaves with raspberry red flowers make an excellent trailing, ground cover plant; perfect for both baskets and to cover the ground with a burst of color! The edible blooms make a delicious and colorful garnish when added to salads, veggie trays, or hors d’oeuvres. Seeds can be pickled to make ‘poor mans capers.’ Compact plants grow 7-12” tall. Full sun or part shade in hot climates. Photo courtesy of T & M Wholesale.
