    I have been growing this plant for decades and have never seen it in a nursery. It grows well in a hanging basket, sets off a lot of runners. Actually overwinters outside in Zone 8b if it is in the ground or a big pot and you cover it in a freeze. Small white flowers emerge from the center of each "branch" on a spike. I want to give some away but I have to know the botanical name to bring it to my group.
