Mint Charlie (Clinopodium brownei), sometimes called Creeping Charlie, is a unique aquatic plant often used in aquariums and paludariums for its round, bright green leaves and fast-growing, creeping habit. While it’s not a true aquatic plant in the wild, it adapts well to submerged conditions in aquariums, making it a great choice for aquarists looking for something unusual. Its trailing growth pattern makes it excellent for midground or background placement, as well as for emersed growth in riparium setups.
