Marsilea minuta (Aquatic) (Miniature Water Clover) - This small Marsilea only grows to a couple inches high and prefers growing on saturated soil to very shallow water. The tiny leaflets are unequal in size with the outer ones being somewhat larger. An attractive feature is the marking on the leaflet. At the base there is a small light colored oval that has at its inner side a darker dot. This could possibly be used effectively at the base of bonsai specimens. It is hardy to about 20 degrees F.
The information about Marsilea minuta that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
