Plant details
This alisma is perhaps the prettiest of the water plantains. It is an uncommon plant for the water's edge with broad leaves and bearing loose panicles of white flowers from June until September. It requires an open sunny position in mud or up to 25cm depth of water. This plant is quite free-flowering once established. They will often spread by self-seeding, provided the flower heads are not removed once they have faded. Plants may be propagated by division in spring or by seed in late summer.
