Description

Plant with a carpeting habit, often confused with the species guttatus. It mainly differs by its larger pruning as it is not uncommon to see branches reach 1 metre (3 feet 4 inches) long, especially near the water. The leaves are round and lettuce-coloured. The yellow flowers follow one another for several months.

Planting and care

Beware, this plant generously reseeds itself in heavy, damp and clayey soil. In our garden, it reseeds everywhere, even in the stream where it squats the water lilies: a paradox!
