Floating Heart Nymphoides Peltata
Approximate leaf spread: 45cm (18 inches) in the first year
Recommended water depth over crown of plant: 10 - 30cm (4 - 12 inches)
Flowering time: July to August
Flower colour: Yellow
Supplied bare rooted
Sometimes known as Villarsia nymphoides, this pretty native plant is not a true waterlily but actually a relative of the Bog bean. It is very easy to grow and good for fast surface cover in a native pond, especially if you have a limited budget. It produces floating heart-shaped leaves which are a lush green, slightly glossy, and sometimes dappled with red/brown. Each crown sends out floating runners, which will gradually root and create new plants. Buttercup-yellow flowers about 1½ inches across with fringed edges are produced in summer at the nodes in the runners, and stand about 2 inches out of the water. Each flower only lasts a couple of days but mature plants produce several runners and many flowers from each runner. If your plant arrives with runners, pot the main plant in the soil but leave the runners floating freely in the water.
