Leptinella Brass Buttons

A rugged little warrior of a groundcover, Brass Buttons forms a dense, fast-spreading mat of tiny, fern-like leaves that shift in color from deep green to bronze as the seasons change. Tough enough to handle foot traffic, rocky soils, and even some drought, this low-maintenance, evergreen creeper thrives where other plants fail. In summer, it sprinkles the ground with tiny yellow button-like flowers, adding an extra touch of charm. Whether tucked between stepping stones, spilling over rock gardens, or softening pathways, this bold but easy-going groundcover gets the job done—no fuss required.

Watering

Watering Needs:

Keep soil evenly moist
  • Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; richer color in brighter light.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining soil, but tolerates poor and rocky conditions.
  • Watering: Moderate moisture keeps it lush; drought-tolerant once established.
  • Maintenance: Fast-spreading—trim if needed to prevent takeover.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 4-10, handling cold, heat, humidity, and foot traffic.
  • Additional Tips: Ideal for walkways, borders, stepping stones, and erosion control. Deer-resistant and thrives in problem areas!
