Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We’re not sure which species of Cotula this is, but we do know it is fantastic! The flowers are huge, at least 1” across. The frothy foliage grows to only about 1-2” high and the big flowers bloom on long stems well above the foliage. They look like large yellow moons rising over a sea of foliage. Needs good drainage and appreciates regular water.
