Description
This miniature specimen, if trained as a bonsai, would feature delicate, ivy-shaped leaves and numerous small, lavender-purple flowers with yellow throats. Its naturally trailing habit would lend itself to a semi-cascade style, allowing its stems to drape gracefully over the edge of a pot or rock.
