| Comments: Red Flame Ivy - Hemigraphis alternata is native to Java and grows very low to the ground spreading neatly to a width of only 2 feet. The top of the leaf is shimmering silver violet and the underside is reddish purple. It is very cold sensitive. Throw a blanket over it on the nights we have frost and you will be rewarded with an otherwise carefree groundcover that thrives in shade to partial sunlight. It needs more water if grown in the sun. Red Flame Ivy is a great edging plant for your garden beds and is available in the Warm Season in our Innovative SausEdge format for easy planting and an instant bordered look. | |||
