It is a type of herbaceous plant that creeps and loves well-drained soil.

It easily reproduces through root threads and can be bred through stem cuttings.

So avoid being in the shade and place the plant in a garden area that is open to the sun.

It works well as a ground cover plant and as a hanging plant when planted in the ground.

It does, however, require twice-daily watering in the morning and evening, and the shoots must be trimmed frequently to encourage the growth of branches or flowers.

The flowers will be fully developed by 10-11 a.m. The leaves are green but will turn browned if they get excessive sunlight.

It is, indeed, @jamerussell. And, aside from my cactus, this is the first plant I've ever planted, and it's very easy to care for.
