A small creeping herb with succulent and waxy leaves up to 40mm long and 8mm wide. Leaves vary from long and narrow to oval shaped to nearly round and sometimes have toothed margins.

Small 5 petaled white star shaped flowers appear in spring to autumn.

Roots shoot out at the nodes allowing the plant to spread and become an attractive groundcover in your garden. Will tolerate swampy brackish (salty) conditions.
