Centella Asiatica Seeds for Planting | Gotu Kola / Indian Pennywort | Cica Herb for Moist Shade Containers

Centella asiatica / gotu kola seeds for container growers who want a cica herb, Asian edible leaf, and moist-shade groundcover in one plant

Indoor-outdoor herb growers, Asian cooking gardeners, and skincare-curious plant buyers.

Better product angle

Do not lead with “brain health” or medical promises. Centella is used traditionally, but medical claims are risky and supplements containing it have been linked to liver injury in some cases. Safer positioning is edible herb, traditional herb, moist-shade grower, or cica garden plant.

Centella asiatica is sold under several names, including gotu kola, Indian pennywort, and Asiatic pennywort, so one product can capture multiple search terms. It is a creeping perennial herb with edible leaves that prefers moist soil and sun to partial shade, which makes it attractive for patio growers, herb gardeners, and people building “wellness” or Asian herb gardens.

Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is a moisture-loving edible herb and creeping groundcover, ideal for containers in bright shade where its fresh leaves and lush cica foliage can be harvested all season.”

Centella asiatica is the right plant for that oddly specific but actually sensible container brief. It is the same plant commonly referred to as gotu kola and also sold in skincare as cica; it’s used as an edible leafy herb, and it naturally creeps into a low, spreading groundcover. NC State describes it as a low rhizomatous perennial that can spread into a dense cover, while current skincare coverage still identifies cica as Centella asiatica.


if you want to sow trays and don’t mind slower, fussier germination, the larger seed packets are the better value. If you mostly want leaves and coverage this season, the plug pack or live plant is the less ridiculous choice, because herb growers explicitly note gotu kola is much easier from starts or division than from seed.

For containers, think wide and moisture-retentive, not deep and dry. Gotu kola likes rich soil, steady moisture, and either partial shade or bright filtered light; some growers report it can handle more sun in warm, humid conditions if kept consistently moist. It also does not like freezing, so in climates with frost it needs protection or indoor overwintering. Humans keep buying tropical creepers and acting shocked when winter disagrees.

Why this plant fits the brief: Centella asiatica is gotu kola, a low, rhizomatous perennial that creeps outward and can form a dense groundcover. The leaves are also used as food, including fresh salads and leafy drinks, so it really can be one plant doing three jobs: edible leaf, herbal/cica plant, and living mulch.

What container growers should expect: this is not a tidy little basil substitute. It wants constant moisture, rich soil, and room to run. Practical herb growers describe it as happiest in shallow, broad containers that stay evenly damp, often with a saucer underneath, while NC State also tags it as a creeping, fast-spreading groundcover that can get weedy if unchecked.

The catch is the seed, not the plant: gotu kola is one of those species that makes gardeners question their life choices. Richters says some seeds may sprout quickly while others can take months, even up to half a year in the same flat. Strictly Medicinal reports better results with warmth and grow lights, but still says 30 to 90 days is normal in standard culture.

How to sow it if you insist on seeds: treat the seeds as light-responsive. A germination study found light significantly improved germination, and experienced growers recommend pressing seeds onto the surface rather than burying them deeply. Keep the tray covered so it does not dry out, and keep conditions warm and bright.

A practical seed-starting setup: use a fine, sterile mix; surface-sow; press in gently; cover with a humidity dome or plastic; and keep the medium evenly moist but not sour and stagnant. Strictly Medicinal says they got fast germination with winter sowing under lights at a minimum of 60°F, while Chestnut and other growers emphasize the same basic rule: moist soil with good drainage, not bone-dry and not swamp sludge.

Best container shape and size: for one “mother plant,” think wide before deep. A broad bowl, trough, or window-box style planter suits its creeping habit better than a narrow pot. For a single longer-term plant, practical grower guidance puts 3 gallons or larger in the reasonable range, especially in hot or dry climates where pots dry out fast.

Light is flexible, but water decides everything: gotu kola can handle full sun to part shade depending on how well-watered it is, but for containers the safer default is bright shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. In hotter climates, several growers explicitly recommend shade protection because pots heat up and dry out much faster than garden soil.

Harvest style: harvest it like a haircut. You can keep snipping leaves and let it flush back in, which makes it well suited to container growing where you want regular edible use without ripping up the whole mat. Chestnut describes repeated cut-and-regrow harvests over a season, and the leaves are commonly eaten fresh or used in drinks.

Seed vs plant, honestly: if your goal is coverage and harvest this season, buy one live plant or plugs and then divide or root pieces. Richters gives two easy propagation methods for established plants: division or short cuttings kept moist in bright light out of direct sun. Seeds make sense only if you enjoy tray work and delayed gratification, which, for reasons unknown, many humans do.

One caution worth knowing: the fresh leaf is widely eaten, but that does not automatically make concentrated supplements risk-free. NIH notes that while Centella is used as food and traditional medicine, oral supplement forms have been linked to rare cases of acute liver injury, and it is not approved in the U.S. as a treatment for any medical condition.

My blunt bottom line: great plant for a moist-shade edible container, mediocre seed-starting experience.

Keeps areas separated
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
Item arrived quickly. I use this to keep my cats out of a part of the cellar. Works great. They've figured out how to slip through side. I made a panel that covers those spots. Still the best item to keep area separate.

Good product, poor directions.

The quality of the product was better than most at this price. The directions could have been much better even though I have an engineering background.

Nice partition for my basement
Color: Beige, Size: B-102''-3 Panel
This 3-panel room divider showed up well-packaged with all the parts and even a little tool for putting it together. The instructions were easy to follow, and while one person can definitely assemble it, having two makes it quicker and less frustrating. It does exactly what I needed—gives quick, easy coverage in an open area. I'm using it in my basement to hide the furnace and water heater, and it works great for that. It looks nice overall, but I picked the beige fabric (which is really more of a tan), and the black frame makes it stand out more than I’d like. A white or lighter frame would’ve blended better. Not sure that I would use it anywhere besides the basement It’s lightweight and pretty sturdy. The wheels make it easy to move, but it does get a bit wobbly, and the panel clips need to be readjusted every time you roll it somewhere new. Still, for the price, it’s a solid buy. I’m happy with it and planning to order another one.

Fantastic
Color: Beige, Size: A-132''W-6 Panel
I am perennially in the process of rearranging, reorganizing, getting ready for yard sales, changing the functions of various rooms, moving everything out of a room to do a deep clean, etc, which means that there is always SOME part of my house, if not the entire thing, that is a disaster zone. Having someone knock on my door triggers a "duck and cover" reflex because it's so embarrassing for anyone to see that I live like this. (I *feel* like I don't, really, because I know that all the various stages are all temporary, but when there's always something temporary going on, it might as well be permanent, you know?) So THANK HEAVENS for a room divider that is not only large enough to divide my uncomfortably long den in half the long way so I can shove all the messy parts up against the back wall -- that is not only simple and attractive and neutral and (this is important) NOT BLACK because I have multiple pets and anything black in this house will be pet-hair-colored within 20 seconds -- that not only has **SIX** panels for lots of options of how I want to divide the space/s -- but is also on WHEELS. Someone out there really does love me, it's true! The panels are stable *enough* - I'm not going to lie and say that nothing is going to knock them over, because I have some balance issues, and I also have cats, and both of those circumstances has resulted in a mess on at least one occasion. But in the cats' defense, they've never dealt with a room partition that didn't hang from the ceiling before; and in my defense, I just grabbed the first thing I could reach on the way down. Not the product's fault in either case. Assembly was a little dicey as I am currently in **bilateral** (oh yes, that's fun) wrist braces, so I had to give up until I had help. But I think if you're able-bodied, you shouldn't have any difficulty. The only down side is, now that I've hidden away all the mess so I can break out the holiday decorations, you know what happens next, right?? That's right... the PERMA-MESS ZONE. Oh no. Oh well.
