Foliage
Features small, ovate, slightly fleshy leaves that are closely packed along the stems. The top surface of the leaves is a bright green, while the undersides are a contrasting deep purple or burgundy.
Flowering Period & Fruit
Produces small, delicate, three-petaled white flowers in late spring and summer.
Sun Tolerance
Prefers bright, indirect light. Ample light is needed to maintain the purple coloring and compact growth, but avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun.
Maintenance
Easy. This is a vigorous, fast-growing plant. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Trim or pinch back the stems regularly to encourage a fuller, more branched appearance.
Root System
A shallow, fibrous root system. The stems readily root where they touch moist soil, allowing the plant to form a dense mat.
