I’m often asked about tropical ground cover plants. Customers want something different. I might suggest the Purple Heart plant as shown here. It fairly quickly covers ground and can take full or part day coastal sun. The flowers are pink. It grows like a Wandering Jew plant. Leaves are a purple-red color. We’re putting our 8 inch plants on sale. You can see how they spill over the pot. This is because they “run” and thus make an ideal ground cover with color.
