Zone 9-10 A herbaceous perennial, the oyster-plant is native to the American tropics and is found everywhere in the warmer areas of Florida The plant is two toned, green and purple. It does well in sun or shade but nicer with some shade. It grows very easily and can be seen rooted in cracks, roofs, and like in this picture, in crevices of this coconut palm There are two other varieties grown, one smaller and one very dwarf. Planted out, they cluster to form a thick ground cover. No special food or water is required |
