Water Plants

A general term applied to all plants which grow in water, both in and outdoors. Perhaps the most familiar of all are Nuphars and Nymphaeas. With these the following, amongst many others, may be associated, but some require a greater depth of water than others: Acorus Calamus, Alisma Plantago, Aponogeton distachyon, Butomus umbellatus, Calla palustris, Hottonia palustris, Limmanthemum nymphaeides, Pontederia cordata, Sagittarias, Stratiotes aloides, Trapa natans, Typha angustifolia and T. latifolia, and Vallisneria spiralis (indoors).
