You can grow it as a groundcover also, it's alot more drought tolerant than the labels suggest. You are going to love it either way, the more sun it gets the more red it becomes, but it's still beautiful without the red, when growing in the shade.

Chris this plant loves water too........so if you have a wet spot where you can't plant anything this one will work and fill the spot in quickly. Or place a pot of it in a watergarden. Don't plant this directly in a bog or it'll take over the whole bog. It also grows in regular soil.

Yes it does sorta look like a strawberry flower Jacque, but it belongs to the Chameleon.

I really like this plant. is it Houttunya (?spelling). We have one but, apparently, it spreads and can be divided. Glad you enjoyed the Oz garden. Look out 4more next year. Regards!
