Centella asiatica, or Asiatic Pennywort, is a low-growing, spreading herb with small, rounded green leaves that thrive in wetland areas, pond margins, and moist garden beds. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, this vigorous ground cover is known for its ability to stabilize soil and prevent erosion while adding lush greenery to aquatic landscapes. It grows well in damp, nutrient-rich conditions and can tolerate seasonal flooding. Perfect for naturalized water gardens or wetland restoration, Centella asiatica is both ornamental and functional in any moist environment.
