This is a great perennial groundcover that is quite drought tolerant after it is established. I grows to a height between 12 and 18 inches. Plants should be spaced 6 to 9 inches apart.

Hardy down to 10 °F / -12.2 °C, they thrive in full sun to part shade settings. Purple Queen is also suitable as a hanging houseplant. It is not too picky about soil fertility or type (even clay), desiring pH levels 5.6 to 7.8

Propogated by several methods » From leaf cuttings, herbaceous stem cuttings; by simple layering, air layering, tip layering, serpentine layering, stooling or mound layering. The very basic method is make something wet, make a hole in it and stick the cutting in it. Honestly. It is actually that easy.
