Hydrocharis morsus ranae (Floating Aquatic)

A pretty little native plant with small kidney-shaped, bright green leaves and very small white flowers. They can tolerate dense shade. Allow to die back naturally as in the autumn small buds are formed which fall off and sink to the bottom and the old plant rots away. These winter buds remain on the bottom to rise again in the spring to form new plants. Flowers July-August. Maximum height 1cm. Minimum spread 2cm; maximum spread 7cm. Native. Medium growth rate.
