trailing plant
Cascading potted foliage
A trailing plant is one whose stems grow along the ground or hang downward rather than standing upright.
Gardeners favor trailing plants for hanging baskets, window boxes, and ground cover: The trailing plant spilled over the edge of the pot.
Common examples include ivy, pothos, and creeping jenny.
