Live American Water Plantain
The Live American Water Plantain is a robust and hearty bog plant, locally grown for our community. It is supplied in either a 6-inch tall or 8-inch short pot, making it easy to place in shallow water environments. While it can be maintained with occasional fertilization in a standard pot, this plant excels when integrated into an up-flow bog setup. In such systems, it actively contributes to pond health by efficiently removing nitrates from the water. This offering is exclusively available for local pickup in Downingtown, PA, ensuring you receive a fresh, high-quality specimen for your water garden.
