Product description

About the species

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

Frequent cutting of the long shoots ensures growth from the base of the plant and maintains the dense, bushy form. The plant's wide form of growth makes it very suitable for passage between very low and tall plants.

The bright green color creates beautiful contrast and will enhance the hues of surrounding red plants.
