Scientific Name: Plectranthus Prostratus Gurke
Other Names: Succulent Swedish Ivy/Tangled Heart Plant

Native: Tropical South Africa
A cute, pillowy leafed and multi-branched succulent plant that is sun-loving and hardy. Its lime green leaves turn pinkish on their edges when exposed to strong sunlight. Given its amazingly quick growth and vining habit, this plant works beautifully in a hanging basket on a sunny balcony, and is suitable for desert terrariums too.
