Yerba mansa

This deciduous perennial is one of our favorite plants! It grows to a height of about 1 ft. and has beautiful white compound flowers in spring and early summer.

Being a marsh plant, it requires a warm position with shallow water or a wet muddy humus-rich soil. It also performs best when allowed to experience seasonal dryness. Will spread by red runners.
As a medicinal herb, the spinach-like leaves may be made into a poultice to reduce swelling.
