This yellow-flowered, silvery-leaved plant grows low to the ground and has runners that shoot out all over to establish new plants, just like its cousin the strawberry
A low-growing member of the Rose Family, this plant has long been used for medicinal purposes and is thought to have been what Europeans ate before importing potatoes from South America
If you catch sight of this lowly plant growing along a streambank, you might not immediately think of it as “silverweed”… but turn over a leaf and perhaps dunk it underwater to view the silver sheen that is magnified as water droplets roll off of it.
