Spreading yellow cress is a native wetland and riparian perennial that grows best in moist to wet soils along stream banks, pond edges, or rain gardens. It is very low maintenance once established in the right conditions and spreads naturally to form a ground cover. This plant is best suited to naturalistic or restoration plantings rather than traditional ornamental gardens.
