Swedish Ivy is not an Ivy at all but actually more closely related to mint. It looks more like a succulent with thick, deep green, scalloped leaves. It's trailing habit makes them GREAT in hanging baskets and the white tube shaped flowers are attractive to hummingbirds.

Blooming from late spring until well in the fall, this plant is happy in partial shade to nearly full sun. Extremely easy to grow and drought tolerant, it's a perfect houseplant for those of us who lean towards underwatering rather than overwatering!  Hardy only in zone 11, it does need to be grown as a houseplant in all other zones or as an annual.  Cuttings root easily in water or soil for sharing or planting as a ground cover in the garden.
