Mazus reptans, commonly known as Purple Mazus, is a fast-spreading, low-growing ground cover perfect for softening pond edges and filling gaps between stones. It produces masses of small purple-blue flowers with white and yellow markings from late spring into summer, creating a vibrant carpet of colour.
This hardy, creeping plant forms a dense mat of bright green foliage, making it ideal for planting between paving, along pond margins, or in boggy areas where it can gently trail over the edges. It thrives in moist conditions and will tolerate shallow water, helping to create a natural transition between water and surrounding landscaping.
Easy to establish and low maintenance, Mazus reptans is a great choice for adding colour, texture, and coverage to any pond or water feature.
