Bolivian Jew,Turtle Vine,Itsy Bitsy Inch Vine Callisia repens, Green/Purple Leaf
Cuttings. This plant is great for keeping those potted plants from drying out as it will form a thick mat at the base of taller plants. I grow it in ALL my containers that have taller plants in them - it looks GREAT hanging down the sides of the containers and acts as a 'mulch' around the base of the plants, too. Of course, it looks great growing by itself in hanging baskets, too! Very rich and luxurious foilage!
