    Extremely fast growing ground cover primarily used around ponds and bog gardens. Can being planted up to 2 inches deep in water. Although the upper zone is listed as 9, this is growing very well in zone 10b. Also, several sources state that Lindernia grandiflora requires wet conditions. Mine are grown in full sun and in normal garden conditions and are quadrupling in size every 2-3 months.
