Navelwort

Navelwort will easily find a place in your garden, especially if you are looking for a reliable plant for partial shade or shade. With its tiny flowers, it strongly resembles popular forget-me-nots. It creates dense carpets of fresh green leaves that work excellently as a natural undergrowth beneath mature shrubs and trees.

Thanks to its cushion-like growth, navelwort can quickly cover bare spots. It helps retain valuable moisture in the soil and prevents weeds from growing at the same time. Perennial varieties will green up shady corners and light them up with a flood of tiny blossoms in the spring. You can easily grow annual varieties from seeds; just take a look at our guide on how to sow. Growing navelwort is generally easy; it just needs slightly moist soil with a bit of humus.
