Aponogeton distachyus (Aquatic) (Water Hawthorn) - An aquatic plant that has long and narrow leaves which float on the surface of the water. White fragrant flower clusters emerge on a 2 inch stalk in the cooler months and then the plant goes dormant in the hottest months. Plant in sun or shade. Spreads to 1-3'. Hardy to <15 degrees F. Plant 12"-18" under surface of water. We grew this plant from 1998 until 2007.
The information about Aponogeton distachyus displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
