    I'm growing T.latifolia. The only germinators that I got were the surface sown seeds, following pretty much the same temperature regime as in Bilbos post.

    Tropical ground cover

    Maybe a form of Oxalis (not the rampant kind), or some ground cover type of Lysimachia such as L. lysii? Lysimachia plants are generally fairly hardy but not sure if they are evergreen.
