Mazus reptans ‘Alba’ is a low-growing marginal pond plant that forms a dense carpet of fresh green foliage and produces delicate pure white flowers throughout late spring and early summer. The small snapdragon-like blooms sit just above the foliage and provide a subtle yet attractive display around pond edges.
This spreading plant thrives in moist soil or very shallow water, making it ideal for softening the edges of ponds, streams, and bog gardens. Its creeping growth habit allows it to quickly fill gaps between stones or along the pond margin, helping to create a natural, well-established appearance.
Mazus reptans ‘Alba’ is particularly useful for covering bare areas around the pond and works well alongside other marginal plants in wildlife-friendly planting schemes.
