Annual Bog Plants

Sagittaria montevidensis Large coarse bog plant with stout arrowhead-shaped leaves, starts growing late in the spring. When it gets going, this plant makes a great border accent or can stand alone. Pale yellow pansy-like flowers all summer long are a wonderful attraction.  (Available potted for pick up $17.95.)

Ruellia squarrosa Blue, trumpet-shaped flowers occur in summer on this compact shallow water plant. Foliage is very attractive, with purplish-green color.  (Available potted for pick up $17.95.)

Ludwigia sedoides Very desirable surface-covering plant with curious diamond-shaped leaves arranged in cute little rosettes. Rapid spreader provides a cooling effect to the pond below. Occasionally flowers yellow, but this plant is grown for its leaves rather than its flowers.  (Available potted for pick up $17.95.) 
Begins shipping in June once water is warm enough for us to have the plant available.

Cyperus haspans Plant this interesting accent as as edge plant or position it as an individual showpiece. The "burst" of growth at the top of the stems give the plant a feathery appearance.  (Available potted for pick up $15.95.)

Cyperus papyrus For one of the largest and most exotic displays, this plant can not be beat. Large heads of fluffy, feathery growth adorn the tall triangular leaves. A large planting container and plenty of fertilizer is the trick for a real showstopper. Leave plenty of room for this focal plant to enjoy it to its fullest.  (Available potted for pick up $18.95.).

Cyperus papyrus percamentus Full, dense rounded heads on this miniature version of the egyptian papyrus. Compact habit is well-suited to a smaller water garden, like a patio pond. Will be a great choice for a large pond as well.  (Available potted for pick up $17.95.).

Dichromena colorata A small, fine-textured grass with showy "starburst" bracts of white held above the leaves all summer and fall. This is a great plant through the fall since the white bracts are persistent well past frost. The plant has a nice dried foliage into the winter.  (Available potted for pick up $17.95.)

Colocasia spp. Large, velvety black, heart-shaped leaves lend a dramatic contrast to the pond. A very striking color sure to bring compliments.  (Available potted for pick up $17.95.)

Colocasia antiquorumPurple and green variegated leaves are a gorgeous splash of color, sure to please. The large heart-shaped leaves provide a lush feel to the water's edge. (Available potted for pick up $17.95.)

Cyperus alternifolius The large whorl of leaves atop the vertical stems is a very recognizable addition to the water garden or large patio pond. This one of the easiest plants to overwinter as a houseplant in a sunny room. Great choice for all pondkeepers, indoors or out.  (Available potted for pick up $15.95.)

Cyperus alternifolius gracilis Small whorls of leaves on top of the straight stems are just right for the smaller water garden and ideal for the patio pond. The compact habit makes this a perfect choice for the indoor water garden.  (Available potted for pick up $15.95.)

Hydrocleys nymphoides Leaves are 1-2" in diameter and have a nice chestnut-colored blotch on many of them. A great surface-covering plant with showy three petalled flowers late in the summer.  (Available potted for pick up $15.95.)
