Print Plant Details

Use as an accent or specimen in beds, planters and window boxes. Looks great spilling over container edges. Wonderful for combination plantings where they soften edges and tie all the elements together.

Although commonly known as "Swedish Ivy" this plant actually originates in Australia where it grows as a wild groundcover. The glossy scalloped leaves are beautiful carpeting the foreground of mixed borders or as an understory plant around large shrubs. Also looks great cascading from a hanging basket or spilling over the sides of a planter mixed with flowering plants. Produces small stems of white flowers, but is mostly grown for its lovely foliage and vigorous, rapid growth.
