Reineckea is a perennial herbaceous plant characterized by its glossy, evergreen leaves which form a dense carpet of foliage close to the ground. The leaves are typically lance-shaped, around 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) long. Flowers are modest and can be found nestled among the leaves, with a pale purple to pink hue. The growth habit of reineckea is clumping and gradually spreading, with a tendency to stay low, not exceeding 6 inches (15 cm) in height. This makes it a subtlety attractive ground cover.
