Water Hawthorn (Aponogeton distachyos) are available for sale. You can BUY NOW.

• They are rooted & leafing so ready to send out to you looking similar to the planted 15cm basket in the Left Hand photo below.
• Plants can grow from approx 60cm(2ft) depth of water and send their leaves and flowers up to the water surface in Spring. Just like a waterlily will in the Summer months.
• But ours have been grown in 30cm(12") of water in the Nursery so place at that depth immediately on receipt from us so any flat leaf is on the water surface .
• Water Hawthorn give an extended season of surface leaf cover over the top of the pond for early returning amphibians and young wildlife.

• Plants can flower between March to May and are sending up leaf stalks and flower buds already.
• These plants will quickly come back again even if the top growth gets caught in the ice or snow.
• Their white flower has the fragrance of Hawthorn blossom.
• After May/June the warm water will send them dormant.
• In a shadier spot they will last longer in leaf and flower as they are in cooler water.
• In Summer warmth - after flowering, they disappear from view - like a daffodil bulb their top growth disappears.
• But they are not dead  - 'just resting'.
• Don't throw the basket away!
• Lower the basket down into deeper water later in the Summer while they are dormant.
• Aponogeton distachyos can regrow and flower again October - November. Feed then with Feed balls for Aquatic plants
• If you already have a Water Hawthorn in your pond - feed it now when it starts actively growing and it will respond well.

We only have Water Hawthorn for sale for a limited time in the year because of their dormancy period.
