General Culture:

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers part shade in hot summer climates. Performs best with regular moisture. Does not do well in climates where nighttime temperatures consistently remain above 70 degrees F. Spreads quickly from root crowns by prostrate stems, but is generally easily controlled since stems can be easily trimmed to control growth. May be grown from seed. Clumps may be divided in spring. Foliage is semi-evergreen to evergreen in warm winter climates.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

Long-stalked, oval-rounded to cordate, medium green leaves (to 1.5"). Native to the northern Balkans, including, as the common name suggests, Serbia.
