This enchanting annual graces reliably moist and boggy ground with its creeping habit, aromatic leaves and a profusion of bright yellow, button-like flowers throughout the summer. A true spectacle, this plant boasts a mass of golden blossoms that bob amidst its strongly scented, light green foliage. Flourishing in wet soils along a pond's edge, Cotula coronopifolia beckons bees and butterflies, creating a delightful ecosystem around this vibrant and scented gem.
Plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond in shallow water no deeper than 10cm (4"). Will self seed if planted in boggy ground where the seeds can settle and germinate.
