A trailing, tender perennial often cultivated as an annual, this ground cover is characterized by its cascading, silvery-green foliage. Its leaves are small, rounded, and create a dense mat. Often used in hanging baskets, window boxes, and as a spiller element in container gardens, it provides a unique textural element.
This plant offers several advantages, including drought tolerance once established, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and water-wise gardens. The aesthetic appeal of its shimmering foliage brings a touch of elegance to various landscape designs. Historically, its drought-resistant nature has made it valuable in regions with limited water resources, where it serves as a visually appealing alternative to more water-intensive ground covers.
