    Lovely plant, duly potted on arrival and thriving in the container. Looks great with Hellebores and Bergenia.

    The product page really didn’t prepare me for how dinky this plant was going to be. The leaves are around 1.5-2cm in length and just under 1cm in width. It is a lovely solid mat of a plant.

    These are lovely delicate looking plants and the blend of colors makes them quite interesting. They do seem to be quite picky about where they want to be I’ve had to move them several times as they didn’t like full sun, but they also didn’t like too much shade and they didn’t like any heavy foot traffic (birds and hedgehogs, not actual human foot traffic) so aren’t really working the way I wanted them. They seem quite happy now they are in bright shade where nothing stands on them, although so far one is thriving, the other only has a handful of leaves left on it, but I’m hoping it will perk up no i know where they want to be.
