Vallisneria spiralis (Aquatic) (Tape Grass) - A popular aquarium plant because of its ability to oxygenate the water. The ribbon-like leaves with parallel veins can reach 3 feet long. The male and female flowers grow on separate plants. The male flower is released and floats to the female flowers which rise to the surface of the water to collect the floating pollen sacs.
This information about Vallisneria spiralis (Aquatic) 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.
