Mozzy Buster

An old-fashioned favourite, this is a perky, bright, mounding groundcover featuring slightly aromatic mint-like leaves with a cute scalloped edge and variegated in white and mid-green. Blooms are tiny pink or white flowers.

Regarded as an easygoing, well-behaved specimen, it makes a perfect houseplant in window boxes or hanging baskets. It also works well in vivarium or terrarium settings, or for mass border planting. Fast-growing, it may need pruning to keep its desired shape. Likes part sun indoors, avoiding direct sunlight as this can burn leaves. Soil should be kept moist and well-draining.

Common names: Mozey Buster, Swedish Begonia and Creeping Charlie. Native to South Africa.
