Notes
Verdigris brass buttons (Leptinella potentillina) is a perennial for containers, low maintenance beds, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It spreads about 12 to 24 inches, so give it room to fill in. Its small, button-like flowers can appear in any season.
Pairs well with September Charm anemone, Heather, Grape hyacinth, and Christmas fern.
