Setcreasea

Bold and vibrant, especially in full sun, use this trailing plant as a ground cover where climate allows. In cooler regions, use as a houseplant or in combination plantings for patio or deck. Contrasts well with blue flowers. Known to survive mild winters, but frost will kill tops. Prefers well-drained soil.
