Helxine soleirolii aka Baby’s Tears, Angel’s Tears, Pollyanna Vine, Irish Moss, Soleirolia soleirolii

A lush little creeper with personality! Bright green-yellow leaves cover dainty, delicate stems — spilling, sprawling, and softening every edge they touch.

Forms a dense, cushiony mat about 15cm tall and up to 75cm wide. Loves damp, well-drained spots and thrives in full sun to partial shade — but don’t let it dry out.

Great companion for ferns and other moisture-lovers. Pop it in a hanging pot and watch it drape like a waterfall, or use it as groundcover to weave between paving stones or around shady garden corners.

Tiny white flowers arrive in summer — a subtle bonus on an already charming plant.

Hardy in subtropical and temperate regions. Not fussy, but prefers a bit of care to stay lush.

Low maintenance, medium grower, high reward.

Currently growing in 5cm pots — postage ready if you are.
