Navelwort is a distinctive plant that can be found growing from crevices in walls, stony banks and rocky areas, particularly in shady or damp places. It has fleshy, disc-shaped leaves and upright, straw-coloured flower spikes that appear from June to August.
How to identify
Navelwort has round, green, succulent leaves that look like coins, and straw-coloured, thin, candle-like flower spikes.
Did you know?
Navelwort is so-named because the flower spike grows from the centre of the leaf, leaving a dimple, just like a navel!
