WOW! Another alien introduction. This really cool, deciduous groundcover Dutchman's Pipe spreads out to 2' on little green stems. Each rounded leaf is medium green, highlighted with dramatic silver veining. The cute, little, 1" long, yellow-and-brown flowers, resembling miniature elephant trunks, are produced along the stem all summer. In winter, the stems retreat back to the base, so there's no invasive problems with this gem! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
