Platt's Black Brass Buttons is a dense spreading perennial that forms a mat of delicate soft-textured foliage that resembles olive and near-black ferns. It can tolerate light foot traffic, making it an excellent groundcover. Small yellow button-like flowers bloom in early summer. Grows best with rich loamy acidic soils. Intolerant of drought. Tolerates light shade, particularly in hot summer climates.
