Water Hawthorne
Water Hawthorne (Aponogeton distachyos)
Water Hawthorne is a unique and elegant aquatic plant known for its fragrant, vanilla-scented white flowers that bloom during the cooler months of spring and fall. Floating oblong leaves rest gracefully on the water’s surface, while delicate blooms rise above the water, adding beauty and interest to ponds and container water gardens.
Unlike many aquatic plants, Water Hawthorne thrives in cooler temperatures and can provide blooms when other water plants are dormant. It is an excellent choice for extending the seasonal beauty of your pond or patio water garden.
