Cotula coronopifolia, commonly known as Brass Buttons or Marginal Aquatic, is a hardy, low-growing perennial that thrives in moist environments, making it a perfect choice for marginal areas of ponds, streams, or water gardens. Known for its attractive, rounded, button-like flowers and fine, feathery foliage, it adds a soft, delicate texture to aquatic landscapes. It is a perfect choice for marginal areas of water gardens, where the plant’s dense, spreading habit can help soften the edges of ponds or streams. The yellow flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it an excellent addition to a wildlife-friendly garden. Its spreading growth habit makes it an ideal choice for filling in areas near the water’s edge, preventing erosion and creating a lush, green border.
Cotula coronopifolia (Brass Buttons) is an elegant, low-growing plant that adds texture and colour to water features, ponds, or moist garden areas.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
