As its name suggests, Brooklime is a fleshy, succulent herb that grows in the wet margins of brooks, streams and ditches, and also in very damp soil. It is in bloom between May and September, producing spikes of bright blue flowers, but its leaves can persist all year-round. It is an ideal plant for wildlife pond margins as it is easy to control and provides cover for tadpoles and sticklebacks.
Brooklime has large, rounded leaves, and thick, juicy stems that are both creeping and upright. Its blue (sometimes pink) flowers are borne on the stems in pairs and are very small.(LINK)
