This is an EXCELLENT plant to use as a filler plant in container growing arrangements. It fills any open base areas and cascades over the side of the container. It almost has a look of a begonia, but it is a very tough and durable plant. It's jagged lacey leaves with the beautiful coloring makes for a great addition. I highly recommend it for any of your planting uses.
