POND PLANT BIO:
Nymphoides peltata is a fast-growing, perennial species with heart-shaped, green leaves that resemble those of waterlilies. It’s yellow flowers burst open between May to October and are favorites of butterflies and bees. Not only do koi and other fish love to nibble on Nymphoides’ yummy leaves, it is also edible for humans as well! Used in homeopathy to treat headaches and tumors, it has been enjoyed for thousands of years as a potherb. Don’t let its tiny form fool you — It’s a rapid-grower and will cover the surface of your pond in lickety-split time! Make sure to keep an eye on it during the growing season: It’s super easy to manage in a contained pond, just scoop it out and add it to the compost heap!
Keep in mind — this plant is not advised for natural-area ponds, and cannot be shipped to Michigan, Washington, South Carolina, or Maine.
NOTES FROM THE EXPERTS AT CHALILY: Our live plants are delivered as bare root plants. This means that the plant has mature, growing root structures ready to be planted. We recommend Chalily Lily and Lotus Fertilizer for all flowering aquatic plants for best blooms and growth.
