Small dense ground cover with fleshy creeping stems that are heavily branched and set root at each node. Foliage is thick, green and with a purplish tinge and undersides. Flowers are white with papery bracts produced in the warmer months. Seed is produced and held in oblong capsules.

An evergreen vine that can grow to a height of 3m but happy to remain as a groundcover without something nearby to climb on. It has thick fleshy dark green leaves and it has spectacular white-pink star flowers on compact heads in winter and spring.

Dark green glossy foliage and many branches help this plant form a dense cover of foliage covering1.5m across. It bears tiny white flowers in the warmer months. Quite hardy and performs at its best when mass planted.

While the glossy green foliage that covers this vigorous climber rambler provides an effective groundcover there is little doubt the spectacular clusters of large mauve-purple flowers are its greatest asset.
