What a great plant it is!  I can propogate it sooo easily.  I use it as a ground cover and now in hanging baskets.  See photo.
I was on a ladder to hang the thing, so here is an ariel view of plant and garden

Looks like the plant you gave me a cutting from Jerry - Persian Shield?

Ii has grown very easilly in a shady spot on my patio.

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

The guy that gave it to me said it was Persian Shield.  I ordered some from the nursery and I was not the same.  Nice, but not cold hardy. Also an upright growing habit.  I have since read that it roots in water too.
It has been simple to propogate too,  I now have a lot!
