It has trailing stems, lush green foliage, and bright trumpet-shaped flowers that range from yellow to purple, attracting bees and butterflies. Often used for erosion control, soil stabilization, and ornamental landscaping, it thrives in a wide range of soils and climates. In addition to its ecological role, it is valued as a hardy, low-maintenance plant that helps support pollinators and ground biodiversity.
