Hydrocotyle (Water Pennyworts)
2 products
Hydrocotyle, commonly known as water pennyworts, thrive in damp or aquatic environments. These plants provide valuable shelter for aquatic invertebrates, which in turn support larger UK wildlife like frogs and newts. Their dense foliage offers protection for small fish and tadpoles.
Birds such as moorhens and ducks often feed on Hydrocotyle, while pollinators visit their tiny flowers. The plant’s spreading habit helps stabilise muddy edges, reducing erosion in ponds and streams. Its adaptability makes it a practical choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
