This plant grows in or near water in the wild. It is an attractive aquatic marginal plant and easy to control. Brooklime will provide useful marginal cover for tadpoles and also sticklebacks. There is a beautiful blue leaf beetle that eats nothing else.

Hi Kathy
I noticed today that the trailing bits are rooting in the water. I think I might be able to set up a sideline selling the stuff at this rate! :D Here's a pic of the first tiny flowers.

Hi, Georgie!
Wow, that spread quickly! Let me know if you and when you have to remove some of it due to overcrowding - I would love to know more about growing it!
Thanks!

I bought this plant on 21 March 2009 to grow in my small pond with Typha minima (and with Caltha palustis alongside). It has already spread about a meter and the first flowers were out today. It's looking very healthy and is very popular with hoverflies. I chose it because it's native and will provide some shade for the wildlife I hope to attract.
