In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun or part shade and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen and grows 3 to 6 inches tall. It spreads 24 to 48 inches wide, so give it room. Keep it away from pets because it is toxic to pets.
