WATER HAWTHORNE | Aponogeton distachyos | Available April 2025

 Water Hawthorn is a deep-water marginal pond plant. This attractive plant grows from a small bulb and unlike other potted, submerged pond plants prefers cool water. The dark green leaves are long and narrow and float on the surface. Water Hawthorn blooms profusely, with unusual, white, vanilla scented flowers. It blooms in the spring when the waters are still cold, and then again in the fall once the water temperatures have fallen. This plant will go dormant during the summer months, so don't accidentally discard it mid-summer, as it is dormant and will begin growing again as the water cools in the fall.  Many areas in Florida, Arizona and Texas are not suitable for the Water Hawthorne Plant.
