If you do want to put it outside - since they trail, you could put it along the edge and stick other things in the middle that are flowering and colorful. The sky is the limit really since the swedish ivy would give you a sortof a neutral green (or variegated) background. It's pretty tolerant of sun or shade. Just make sure it gets watered or it will droop.

Here's a photo of my Swedish ivy from last summer.

I had it in a hanging basket, but of course, brought it in for the winter. It's out there again now, but it's double in size what it was last summer! I prefer to not mix anything with it.

You could put a coleus (or depending on the size of your container, up to three or four) in the middle for a great non-flowering combination, or include tuberous begonias for flowering. They're taller than the Swedish ivy. Or you could mix Swedish ivy with bacopa for a lush look.

In order to post a picture, you need to find a hosting site to put the pictures. Webshots and Picturetrail are two that many people use. Then you can put a link to where the pictures are or certain host sites will allow you to actually display your picture within a message here. In that case, you can simply type the following code in your message:

<img src="http:/location/of/your/picture/picname.xxx">

where "xxx" is usually "jpg". If you have a broadband connection for internet service, most of those providers actually give you space to put pictures or stuff for a webpage.

Oh wait! I think I know what you have!!!! I do have a plant with thicker waxy leaves and scalloped edges! (that's a shame...lol). A kalanchoe!!!! WOW! It has leaves just like a swedish ivy but they are thicker and waxy. It also blooms in winter but you have to treat it like you would a Christmas cactus - I believe it blooms during short-day periods, ie., you let it get less and less hours of light and give it some cool temps, and it will eventually set buds, send up a little bloom stem, and bloom with tiny little flowers at the top of the stem. This is mine (sitting in front of a hoya...lol):

They are succulents I believe. I bought 2, 2.5" pots of them about 5 or so years ago at the supermarket (they are popular around Christmas time as potted, foil-wrapped plants, along with cyclamens). One was a pink bloomer the other a white. I wasn't sure what to do with them and just kept them under a table lamp where they promptly grew leggy. LOL Eventually I took a long piece off of one and stuck it in water (just like a swedish ivy). It rooted and I potted it. That piece ended up the only thing that survived. I then began to read about them and eventually last summer, I stuck it outside and kept it out with the Christmas cactus until October. Then stuck it under my halogen lights. It eventually set some flower buds and bloomed for the first time since I bought the momma.

They grow these as a ground cover in California and I'm sure other mild winter locations. I saw them outside in front yard strips in San Francisco.

Wish you luck! I gotta find some room to stick mine outside! LOL
