An herbaceous tender perennial from eastern Asia, it sprawls outward and sends out roots from the horizontal stems as it creeps. The small leaves are lush green to slightly grayish green are are shaped like a kidney or more rounded and like a waterlily leaf. In summer and fall, tiny flowers appear, ranging in color from white to yellowish green. The orange-brown stems root across the soil and will spread indefinitely and tiny seeds will sprout to thicken the foliage mat. Grow Asian ponysfoot in full sun to partial shade exposures in a slightly acidic, moist but well-draining soil. Soils should be a average fertility and in hotter climates ample moisture is needed particularly in summer. If grown in too much shade the plant height increases, often lending itself to trimming or mowing. It is not overly tolerant of foot traffic, which must definitely be avoided if frost is on the foliage (which will blacken later if walked upon). Use it as an attractive groundcover around stepping stones or in areas where turfgrass is too high maintenance or tricky to establish.
