The busy gardener’s best friend. This short groundcover thrives almost anywhere, from harsh, dry full sun to part shade in moist soil, offering little white flowers from March to N ovember that are a favorite for skipper butterflies. It puts out roots along its stem nodes, making it easy to grow more plants by placing a rock to keep the stem on bare soil for 2 weeks and then snipping the new plant.Plant it where you don’t want sunlight to fall on bare soil (where weeds might grow). A favorite host plant of three butterflies: the Phaon Crescentspot, Buckeye, and White Peacock. Be sure to avoid spraying any chemicals near this plant to avoid harming the caterpillars.
