POND PLANT BIO:
It’s a dainty-flowered pond treasure! Bright periwinkle-blue flowers adorn the lemon-scented foliage of the lemon bacopa. It will thrive in a wide range of growing conditions, from moist soil as a bog plant, or in water as a floating or submerged plant. This makes it a top plant choice for wetland remediation projects.
