Description
The Variegated Form of Baby Sunrose is a striking groundcover adorned with beautiful heart-shaped leaves with creamy edges and vibrant pink flowers. These features add a unique texture and splash of colour to gardens and landscapes, enhancing the aesthetics. Whether filling gaps between stepping stones or trailing in pots and hanging baskets, its decorative leaves and flowers create a lush and inviting appearance.
Adaptable to various soil types, this plant grows well both in the ground and in pots, thriving in full sun to partial shade. For in-ground planting in sandy soils, incorporating organic matter will ensure healthier growth. Watering needs are moderate, but once established, it becomes more drought-tolerant.
