A pretty, ground-hugging perennial, with kidney shaped leaves and a spreading habit. Tiny star like flowers, mainly in summer are easy to miss in the dense foliage.
A great lawn alternative for low-traffic areas. Happily fills spaces between paving stones and along the edges of pathways. Kidney Plant is widely known to grow in damp shady places, and is often recommended to for planting where there is adequate moisture through summer; however this species has been observed growing happily in Campbells Creek in dry, post gold mining subsoil in full sun (Ian Higgins pers com.). It can resprout after dry periods.
