With its attractive foliage and delicate flowers this aquatic perennial plant is a desirable option for adding natural beauty and ecological benefits to ponds and other water features.
Myriophyllum crispatum boasts feathery, whorled foliage in a vibrant shade of bright green, which emerges on crisp stems above the water surface. During the months of June to July, it produces small red flowers that add a splash of colour to the aquatic setting.
Although similar in looks to Myriophyllum aquaticum (which is an invasive, non-native species), this aquatic species is much less prolific and provides oxygenation for ponds and underwater growth which provides habitat for pond life.

Myriophyllum can be grown in boggy soils or submerged in the margins of ponds, with the crown positioned up to a maximum depth of 25cm (10in) below the water surface. It can thrive in either full sun or partial shade. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal aftercare. If excessive growth occurs, it can be pruned or removed as needed to maintain the desired appearance and size.
