Leptinella 'Platt's Black' Brass Buttons

A groundcover like no other, Leptinella ‘Platt’s Black’ Brass Buttons is a sprawling mat of feathery, fern-like foliage in deep bronze to near-black tones that change with the seasons. This low-growing, fast-spreading powerhouse thrives in shade, sun, and tough spots where other plants struggle, creating a lush, weed-suppressing carpet. In summer, it sends up tiny button-like yellow flowers, subtle yet charming. Perfect between stepping stones, in rock gardens, or as a bold, moody contrast to bright greens, this is a plant that demands attention—without demanding effort.

Watering

Watering Needs:

Keep soil evenly moist
  • Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; darker tones develop in more sun.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining soil but adapts to poor, dry, or rocky conditions.
  • Watering: Moderate moisture keeps it lush, but drought-tolerant once established.
  • Maintenance: Low-care but fast-spreading—trim if needed to keep in check.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 4-10, handling cold, heat, foot traffic, and even neglect.
  • Additional Tips: Perfect for walkways, edging paths, rock gardens, and filling in gaps. Thrives in tough spots where other plants fail!
