About
Haloragis erecta is a spreading, semi-evergreen perennial with often bronze-tinged, toothed leaves. Tiny, insignificant flowers are produced in the leaf axils in summer. Grown mainly for its attractive, finely toothed, often coppery foliage, which adds colour and texture to a sunny, well-drained border.
