Originating from marshy regions throughout the Himalayas, this low-growing perennial spreads to form a creeping green carpet. Perfect for filling gaps between paving slabs or greening up the outer edges of a pond. The purple-blue flowers that appear in late spring and early summer add to the appeal.
Mazus reptans thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and can be planted at pond edges or in reliably damp spots, ideally 5-10?cm (2-4in) above the waterline to allow for seasonal changes. It can also grow in a pond basket at a shallow depth (0-5?cm or 0-2in).
Keep the soil consistently moist, protect new growth from slugs and snails, and divide any large clumps in spring to maintain a tidy, healthy plant. Trim back foliage at the end of the year if needed.
