This creeping perennial herb forms a lush, dense mat of small green leaves and delicate pink to purple flowers, making it both beautiful and functional in gardens.

Native to tropical and subtropical regions, this hardy plant thrives even in poor soils, making it perfect for lawns, garden beds, erosion control, and natural borders. It enhances soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, supporting other plants and reducing the need for fertilizers.
