Groundcovers
These are ground covering plants that readily develop into a mass of stems, leaves, and / or flowers. Groundcovers act like a living mulch and once fully established often help to shade the ground beneath them which helps to reduce weeds. This is also a good way to make a statement in the garden or landscape or use these plants as fillers beneath and around larger growing plants.
Red Dragon Flower, Schneider's Huernia
Huernia schneideriana, Ceropegia schneideriana
The 1" wide star-shaped cupped flowers are a deep maroonish red and may be produced along the succulent deep green upright to arching and trailing stems anytime between spring and fall. The angular stems of the Red Dragon Flower, Huernia schneideriana, are adorned with soft spines and usually start out upright and as they get heavier they begin to arch and trail making an easy and decorative specimen plant for hanging baskets, containers, as well as in mixed container gardens. The Red Dragon Flower is sometimes used a groundcover for larger growing shade loving porch and patio plants. This is truly a shade loving plant preferring bright indirect sunlight or cool shade like very early or very late in the day as hot direct sunlight can burn the stems. Provide excellent drainage and allow the plants to become moderately dry between waterings. Easy, vigorous, and enjoyable! Item# 11242
