Limnobium spongia (Aquatic) (Frog's Bit) - Free-floating evergreen aquatic with very thick leathery leaves. They are either rounded, or in younger plants, somewhat heart-shaped with rounded lobes. Younger leaves tend to be bright and shiny above and reddish underneath. Undersides of young leaves have a central disk of red spongy cells. The leaf stalks have ridges on either side, and are firm.
The information about Limnobium spongia that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
