Post your garden plant ID requests here! Thought it would be good to keep them separate from aquatic plant chat
So, I'll start. Can anyone ID this plant that I have in the garden? It looks a lot like some sort of Hydrocotyle but I don't recall what it actually is. If memory serves, I think it has blue flowers in summer.
I'd like to know what it is, and if I can try it out in a tank Also, I'm unsure about propagation, as the stems look different to other hydrocotyles I've seen... I perhaps should of taken a better photo, but it seems to have a thicker stem down low, and all the foliage seems to come from the same general location, unlike other hydrocotyles which spread via nodes or whatever...
Anyway, a pic:

Seems to have a bit of a variagated look to it, which I don't remember it having (it's growing at the top of the garden under some trees and out of the way).
