A pretty trailing plant for paving, or ground-cover for small bulbs in warm, well-drained soil. Small oval leaves cover prostrate branching stems, set in late summer, with globular heads of tiny white, mauve and orange flowers. Disappears in winter, but returns in spring. Turkey tangle frogfruit comes from South America and probably has one of the best common names around.
