Nymphoides geminata (Aquatic) (Chocolate Snowflake) - The half-hardy, 1-inch leaves are very distinctive on this plant. Dark chocolate brown with bright green veins sprawl across the water's surface. Five-petaled, fringed, yellow blossoms stand out of the water and add sparkle in summer. Especially suited to growing in small pools and tub gardens. Can be in water up to 24 inches deep. Best growth in full sun to partial shade. Grow as an annual in colder zones or move to greenhouse with adequate light. Hardy in zones 7 -10. We grew this plant from 2003 until 2005.
