Cotula hispida 9cm

Cotula hispida is a charming and distinctive perennial plant that brings a touch of uniqueness to any garden. Commonly known as Little Golden Buttons, this UK garden favourite features small, daisy-like flowers surrounded by soft, fine hairs, giving it a fuzzy appearance.

With its low-growing and mat-forming habit, Cotula hispida is well-suited for ground cover, rock gardens, or as a filler-in between paving stones. The flowers, held on wiry stems above the foliage, bloom in late spring and summer, creating a carpet of vibrant yellow blooms that add a pop of colour to the landscape.

Cotula hispida is an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun. It is relatively drought-tolerant and prefers well-drained soil. The foliage is composed of small, silvery, fern-like leaves that add texture and interest to the garden even when the plant is not in bloom.

This hardy perennial is low-maintenance and requires minimal care. It is a great choice for those seeking a plant that can withstand challenging growing conditions and add a unique touch to their garden. Cotula hispida is also known to attract butterflies and other pollinators, enhancing the biodiversity of the garden.

Whether used as a ground cover, edging plant, or in rockeries, its bright yellow flowers, fine-textured foliage, and easy-going nature make it a delightful addition for gardeners looking for something a little different.
