Nursery contributed plant descriptions
From the upper elevations of South Africa, Cotula lineariloba is a low mounding plant, very high on the cuteness scale: a thick, silver-green fluffy 6" tall mound happy to grow in and around rocks and gravel, and studded with floating, wire-stemmed, sunny yellow buttons in May -June. Deadheading will further extend its bloom time. Such a happy little plant-give it a pat. 12+" wide
Minimum temperature: 0?F
Great little frothy mound of silver foliage that deserves a place in the plant petting zoo. The yellow button-like flowers dance on wiry stems in late spring and early summer. Too cute. On the dry side. Thanks to David Mason and Susie Grimm of Hedgerows Nursery for sharing it with us.
