| Seed ripens | early July |
The small tufts of soft feathery silver foliage remind me of silver mound artemisia. In late spring, button-like yellow flowers emerge on stilt-like stalks that are so disproportionately high above the foliage that they appear to hover unattached. Quite the interesting little plant!

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Claudie | Feb 06, 2010 | Is it the same as Cotula lineariloba ?
I don't believe so. While GRIN doesn't recognize either species the RHS horticultural database lists them separately. |
- Seed from '01 trade. Baggy 70F with light (no G).
- Same seed as above. Pot set outside mid-January. A few G by mid-May
- Seed from '04 garden. Baggy 70F with light (2%G, 3d)
- Seed from '08 garden. Crushed ~15 seedheads and placed entire contents in baggy under light. ~20 germinated, 1-2 w)
I think there are precious few viable seeds in this little plant's spent flowers. They are small, viability is hard to judge by appearance.
