The Asian and European Hottonia stem plant is an undemanding and easy-to-grow plant for beginners. Its numerous arching shoots and their bright, light green, tapered leaves will quickly form a compact clump. Each stem will reach 4-6 cm in width and 10-30 cm in height. Regularly pruning the longest shoots will encourage strong growth from the base of the plant, thus maintaining its dense, bushy shape.
The plant's size makes it particularly suitable for planting in the transition zone between low-growing and taller plants, and its light green color will provide attractive contrasts.
