Navelwort
Navelwort easily earns its place in the garden, especially if you are looking for a reliable plant for partial shade or full shade. Its tiny flowers strongly resemble the popular forget-me-nots. It forms dense carpets of lush green leaves, which work perfectly as a natural undergrowth beneath established shrubs and trees.
Thanks to its cushion-forming growth, navelwort can quickly cover bare spots. This helps retain precious moisture in the soil while also suppressing weeds. Perennial varieties will green up shady corners and brighten them 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. Overall, growing navelwort is simple; it just needs slightly moist soil with a bit of humus.
