Herbaceous trailing plant, native to tropical America, where
it grows wild as a ground cover.
It is mostly grown in hanging baskets for cascading foliage
and is tolerant of indoor conditions where it adds a dainty,
delicate touch to a room and will grow to handsome proportions.
But it is equally useful and attractive as a groundcover, potted
plant, or as an accent plant for the home or office.
The foliage consists of awl-shaped leaflets (2.5cm long) set
on slender, wiry, cascading stems. Tiny, three petaled white
flowers bloom profusely, especially in winter.
