Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I have had one of these beautiful Asarinas in a 10 inch pot for 6 years and am always asked "What is it?" It grows to about 10 inches tall and then creates a fountain of arching, trailing stems bearing vibrant cerise-rose trumpets, 2 inches long with showy lime green bracts in profusion Spring thru mid Summer.
