Bog Plants: Golden Button

Many people really enjoy this aquatic plant because it blooms and adds so much color to your pond. The Golden Button, or Tansy plant, is native to parts of Europe and Asia and are characterized by their distinctly round pads of flowers. The small marsh flower Cotula coronopifolia (also spelled C. coronipifolia) bears the common names brass buttons, golden buttons, and buttonweed. The flowers are bright yellow discoid inflorescences that look like thick buttons. Individual plants spread stems along the ground and send up the knobby
flowers at intervals. The pond plant is native to southern Africa, but it has been introduced to many regions of the world. Brass buttons are common bog plants that occupy a specialized ecological niche. They prefer muddy, anoxic wetlands and brackish water. They are very salt-tolerant.
The plant has fat, fleshy leaves that store water during times of saline inundation. The reddish stems and green, blade-shaped leaves are coated with a shiny
cuticle to retain moisture. It can also be found in the wetter patches in vernal pond ecosystems. Brass buttons are common along the beaches, salt marshes, Koi ponds and
estuaries from California to Washington.

Caution: Golden Buttons should be used in moderation if critters or other animals circulate your pond, as they are known to be toxic if ingested in large quantities.
