Starwort (Callitriche stagnalis) - Bunch

Starwort

Callitriche stagnalis

One of the few submerged plants active in autumn and winter. Goldfish are partial to the young, succulent leaves & many insects shelter in their tangled masses. In fast flowing water the leaves are held below the surface. In still water the leaves may protrude by a centimetre or two.

This plant is evergreen and will retain some stems/leaves throughout winter. 

Supplied as a weighted bunch, this requires planting soon after arrival. Partially bed the thickest ends into aquatic soil and pin down where necessary to keep it from floating out. The plant will then send out roots.

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 is available for posting as well as Click & Collect. Please note that the foliage may be trimmed on postal orders to safely fit the plant(s) in the box.
