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.
This information about Aponogeton distachyus displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate 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 that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
