Description:  

Wandering Jew is one of the most wonderful ornamental plants ever created! The sparkling silvery turquoise foliage is a beautiful color rarely encountered in landscape materials. Wandering Jew is a godsend for the indecisive gardener: Groundcover plantings can be established effortlessly, then ripped out and moved with ease when the landscape plan changes.

A few pieces poked into the soil amongst container plants in the greenhouse will quickly flow into a colorful winter carpet. And you can make a gorgeous flower arrangement out of practically anything by sticking a couple of wandering Jew sprigs in with it.
