We have this growing out the front in pure gravel and no earth, in our borders, and one growing in a tub in the pond. Such a versatile plant, and gorgeous colours too, 😍

Gorgeous isn’t it? Incredible to learn it can grow without any soil!! I’ve kept this in a pot to restrain it, such a beautiful plant 🪴 💗 @angiecrazycatlady

It’s just like my Chinese lanterns they’re the same, they can travel underground more than a metre…..and if you don’t get the runner out they’re off again….😏
