Two of these plants are superb in hanging baskets. Variegated Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila 'Variegata') has green-and-white leaves and is a root-clinging vine growing 10-15 feet long and 3-6 feet wide. Aptenia cordifolia--common names Baby Sun Rose, Heartleaf Ice Plant, and Hearts & Flowers--is a trailing perennial with bright green, succulent leaves and bright red flowers. It grows 10 inches tall with a 3-foot spread. Both plants need good light inside and can thrive in the garden but must be brought inside in winter. (The Ficus is also excellent for covering walls and fences.)
