Persicaria minor
Small water-pepper grows best in consistently moist to wet soil, making it ideal for pond margins, rain gardens, or boggy areas with partial shade. It is a low-growing annual or short-lived perennial that spreads readily in suitable conditions and requires little intervention once established. Keep it away from areas where it might outcompete more delicate wetland species.
