Water hawthorn

Spacer
Water hawthorn (Aponogeton distachyos) is one of the few non-native plants I grow in my pond. I chose it for its long flowering season (it can flower almost throughout the whole year). Invertebrates are also attracted to it, particularly the pond snails which devour its foliage!
