Hydrocotyle nova zealand suits pond keepers wanting to fill bare marginal shelves or basket edges with low, creeping foliage. Its dense growth habit helps cover exposed margins and gives the pond edge a fuller, greener finish. Choose a single plant already potted in a 1 litre basket, or three smaller plants supplied in 9cm pots for covering more ground.
Hydrocotyle nova zealand is a creeping marginal pond plant that forms a low, dense carpet of tiny round leaves wherever it's given room to spread.
It suits pond keepers who want to cover bare margins, basket tops or the edge of a planting shelf with foliage, rather than leave soil or mesh exposed. As it spreads, it helps keep those areas covered and gives pond margins a greener, more finished look.
What you get depends on the pack you choose: a single plant already potted in its own 1 litre mesh basket, or three younger plants, each supplied individually in a 9cm pot, for covering a wider area.
Being a perennial, it comes back each year rather than needing replanting from scratch, and it needs very little looking after through the growing season.
