Description
Water Lettuce (Pistia stratoites)
Bloom times: Foliage plant all season
Hardiness zone: 9-11
Height: 2”-6”
Fertilization: Absorbed from your water!
Cultivation: Floats on the water’s surface with roots hanging below.
Habit: Pale, blue-green, velvety leaves. They multiply quickly so be sure to separate & thin.
Water Lettuce is a Tropical pond plant and should be treated as an annual plant. It prefers warmer water.
We recommend that your water temperature is 65 degrees (and warmer) before adding Water Hyacinth and Lettuce to your pond.
Using a round feeder or plant ring (like this one) will help keep your floating plants together and out of your pond's skimmer box.
