Frequently Asked Questions
What planting depth does this plant need?
What planting depth does this plant need?
It depends on the size. 9cm pot plants should go no deeper than a third of your pond's maximum recommended planting depth, 1 litre basket plants no deeper than half of that depth, and 3 litre basket plants sit on the pond shelf at the recommended planting depth.
Does it come in a basket already?
Does it come in a basket already?
The 1 litre and 3 litre sizes are supplied already in a basket and don't need repotting. The 9cm pot size is supplied loose in the pot, and a basket isn't included, so you'd need to pot it before planting.
Will it come back next year?
Will it come back next year?
It's an annual. The grower notes it will self-seed if grown in boggy ground where the seeds can settle, but this depends on conditions rather than being guaranteed.
What light does it need?
What light does it need?
Full sun to part shade.
A low, creeping marginal plant that spreads along pond edges and boggy ground, covered in small yellow button flowers through the warmer months. It gives colour to the margin at a shallow planting depth and is supplied already growing in a basket or pot, depending on the size you choose.
Cotula coronopifolia is a creeping marginal plant that forms a low mat of foliage covered in small, bright yellow, button-shaped flowers. It suits pond margins and boggy ground, where the grower's own guidance says it will self-seed once established, and it offers colour to the water's edge across the growing season.
It grows best in full sun to part shade and is suited to the shallower margin of the pond rather than deep water, which makes it an easy addition alongside other marginals.
Several pot and pack options are available, ranging from young plants in 9cm pots up to a single plant in a 3 litre basket, so you can match the quantity and size to the stretch of margin you're planting. The two 1 litre options differ only in whether you receive one plant or three.
As an annual, it relies on conditions being right for it to carry on from seed. The grower notes it will self-seed where fallen seeds can settle in boggy ground, though this depends on how and where it's planted rather than being something the plant does on its own in every setting.
