Nursery contributed plant descriptions
From New Zealand, A prostrate, stoloniferous, carpet forming perennial to 1 1/2 inch tall. Three very small bronze-green leaflets to a stem, evergreen and inversely heart shaped. Tiny white flowers in late spring and summer. Part shade. Has never been invasive for us, in fact it may need protection from being overwhelmed by larger plants. Native to S. America and Australia.
