Description

Perennial plants that are very hardy and spread quickly in shady areas thanks to their short stolons, forming original evergreen ground cover in moist soils. Easy to grow in heavy, moist clay soil. They tolerate very dense shade as long as there is enough moisture. They are not tolerant of full sun.

A more compact species that spreads less quickly than the previous one. Small round leaves measuring 5 mm (1in) to 1 cm (1in) in diameter form a low and very dense ground cover. Creates a very intense bright effect.
