    • Love this plant in my 4 ft. wide concrete planter. Hangs down beautifully and complements the Tangerine and Hot Pink geraniums along with the yellow Super bell saffron all topped by a spiky tropical.

    • An old favourite of mine. I remember as a child my mother used to grow it on her rockery.

    • Travels very well in a container or in a rock garden. I planted some of it in a rectangular container and it took over. I had to repot the end flowers. Beautiful colour and really easy to grow. Low to no maintenance. I have been told it is an annual at one place and a perennial at another. I will see how it survives the winter in my shrub bed. Adds great colour to my area and love how it creeps over and around the rocks. I have also been told that it will not harm the growth of my shrubs as they are only in their third year of growth.

    • It holds up to my dogs and does very well in my tree covered yard as well has in baskets. Its easy to care for and maintain if it gets too out of control for you.

    • Love the contrast with blues and reds. Delightful to see in hanging baskets in a light breeze.

    • Fantastic plant! I planted it last year and was amazed early this spring how fast it came up and spread out. It seems to be very hardy here in the midwest. The color is beautiful! Very eye catching!
