This plant appears to be tolerant of Houston's winter weather and suffers only partial dieback during the hottest summer days. This plant, once established in a home lawn, becomes hard to eradicate. It forms a dense ground cover in shaded areas and is highly competitive in St. Augustinegrass lawns. It has a prostrate, trailing growth habit with stolons that root and produce leaves at every node. White flowers are 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide.
