Hygrophila difformis (Aquatic) (Water Wisteria) - The mint-like foliage and tiny lavender flowers are born at the leaf joints on long, trailing stems. When grown submerged, its foliage becomes ferny and very finely cut. Foliage is very sticky when emerged. Great in containers and in the margins of ornamental ponds to hide pots. Grows in full sun to part shade in moist soil or submerged to 2 inches deep. Matures to 6 to 10 inches with a running spread. Cold hardy to 25-30° F.
The information about Hygrophila difformis 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. |
