Hottonia palustris

Product description

About the species

The stem plant Hottonia from Asia and Europe is a modest and simple beginner plant. The many curved shoots with fan-cut and intensely bright green leaves quickly create a dense group. Each stem is 4-6 cm wide and 10-30 cm high.

Frequent pruning of the long shoots ensures growth from the base of the plant and maintains the close, bushy form. The plant's wide growth form makes it very suitable for the passage between very low and tall plants. The light green color creates a beautiful contrast and enhances the shades of surrounding red plants.
