Marsh pennywort
Hydrocotyle vulgaris
Marsh pennywort is a moisture-loving creeping perennial ideal for pond margins, bog gardens, or any reliably wet area in the garden. It thrives in sun to partial shade and spreads via stolons to form a dense, attractive mat of rounded leaves. Ensure the soil or planting medium is kept consistently wet, as it will not tolerate dry conditions.
