This charming yet unassuming annual thrives in unsettled woodland areas, delicately climbing over fallen branches and hugging the base of towering trees. Its leaves bear a striking resemblance to miniature oak leaves, creating a lovely textured green background. The plant bursts into life in early spring with petite, white blossoms. Its preference for shaded spots under trees make it a perfect understory addition, and its trailing growth habit would be attractive in springtime container gardens. Attracts syrphid flies and small native bees.
