Groundcover for shade, grown mostly for its variegated, fuzzy round leaves, with white flowers as a bonus. Some list it hardy only to zone 7, others have reported success in zone 6. Ours disappeared after a season in the garden, but I'm not sure what did them in. Trying again from seed – and a few plants got at least through their first winter.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
