Overview

Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, commonly known as Lawn Marshpennywort, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial with circular, glossy leaves that span up to 0.5 inches in diameter. This ground cover reaches up to 2 inches tall and thrives in moist, well-drained soils in partial to full shade. Its petite size and rapid spreading make it ideal for filling spaces between stepping stones or creating a dense, living carpet in shaded garden areas.
