Brass Buttons

Brass Buttons (Cotula lineariloba) is a charming and resilient groundcover that adds a soft, moss-like texture to the garden. This variety features finely divided, feathery silver-grey foliage that creates a dense, low-growing mat. In spring and early summer, it is covered in small, button-like yellow flowers that sit on slender stems just above the foliage, resembling tiny brass buttons scattered across a silver cushion.

As a versatile member of the Cotula genus, this plant is an excellent choice for rock gardens, filling gaps between stepping stones, or as a decorative "spiller" in mixed containers. It is exceptionally tough and can handle light foot traffic, making it a functional alternative to traditional moss in sunnier spots. Why you’ll love it: Exquisite feathery silver foliage, whimsical yellow button flowers, and a rugged, spreading habit that suppresses weeds beautifully.

This healthy 4" live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil.
