IAP Water Hyssop 'Smooth' - Bacopa monnieri1

Average rating:

A beautiful plant which produces bright green, ovate leaves one inch long and a half an inch wide. It will form thickets by branching and running through the substrate. If allowed to grow out of the aquarium it will reward the aquarist with bright blue flowers and foliage that is scented like peaches, a scent it will retain when the foliage has dried. It grows well in strong light with moderate feeding and pruning. Can be planted in with your waterlilies, lotus or bog plants. Can also be anchored in shallow water areas using small stones or gravel or grown in shallow trays.

Hygrophila diformis is one of the most versatile of all aquatic plants. For the aquarist, this is one of the plants that make water gardening worthwhile. Leaves are bright green, large, and showy. They are deeply incised on their margins and, in the extreme case, have an almost ferny appearance. Our photo here hardly does it justice. In the proper setting, they are easy to grow and can be quite beautiful.
For the pond keeper, this plant offers a flowery edge treatment. Please see IBP158
