Alisma plantago-aquatica
Water Plantain
This clump forming seed colonizer thrives in permanently inundated quiet water. It becomes recognizable early in the growing season with its submerged strap like foliage, then emerges to stand 2-4' above the surface with dark green ovate shaped leaves with reddish pedials. From June thru September the Baby's Breath like white flowers create a soft misty haze in full sun.
