Luronium natans, a rare British native aquatic, thrives in the shallow waters and reliably boggy soils, flaunting its oval green leaves that effortlessly float atop the water's surface. Its delicate, white, three-petaled flowers add a touch of elegance to its verdant foliage, and plays a crucial role in small pond ecosystems, offering both beauty and essential habitat for aquatic life.

How to care for Luronium natans:

Avoid overcrowding by keeping plants clear of algae, blanketweed or duckweed, which will prevent them from absorbing essential light and nutrients. When necessary, use a sharp pair of secateurs to trim away any dead or damaged foliage.
