Water Plantain
Alisma plantago aquaticum
When mature this plant sends up many flower stems with multiple, delicate white flowers and broad lanceolate leaves. It is also said to be a cure for rabies, hence it is sometimes called Mad Dog weed.
This plant will die back to its basket for winter, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.
The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.
This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
