Notes

Lace flower (Alsobia dianthiflora) is a trailing plant for hanging baskets, pots, and the base of larger houseplants. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. White flowers with deeply fringed edges open in early to late summer. The furry leaves form a dense mat as stolons spread.

Pairs well with Marble Queen pothos, Chenille plant, and Century plant.
