Cotula lineariloba is a perennial groundcover, but not an evergreen in most ecosystems. This plant, native to South Africa, is indeed very fond of warm climates and sensitive to low temperatures. From -5°C Cotula lineariloba will tend to enter dormancy, but if the temperature does not drop further (or by a few degrees at most), you will see it sprout back without problems in spring and return to its full splendor in a short time.

Cotula loves sunny exposures. It can tolerate light shade, but remember that the more hours of shade there are, the less abundant the flowering of Cotula lineariloba will be.

If you plan to place Cotula lineariloba under a tree, make sure it is a tree tall enough to leave the right amount of light for the Cotula: low trees tend to cover the lawn with a dense shade in which moisture evaporates with difficulty, which is not ideal for Cotula lineariloba. This plant is indeed very fond of light and well-drained soils, and it has no problems with calcareous soils.

Cotula lineariloba can easily be paired with other groundcovers. For example, you could create a varied color palette by pairing it with the showy flowers of Lippia nodiflora and/or Verbena hybrida, or stick to yellow tones by mixing it with Achillea tomentosa aurea 'BDG'. Don't forget that a varied lawn tends to be more resistant and adaptable!
