Aponogeton distachyos (Water Hawthorn) – Hardy, Flowering Aquatic Plant for Year-Round Beauty

Aponogeton distachyos, commonly known as Water Hawthorn, is a hardy, free-flowering aquatic plant that adds elegance and interest to your pond or water feature. Known for its beautiful white flowers, Water Hawthorn blooms for most of the year, starting in March and continuing through July, with a second flowering period from September to December. If protected from frost, this plant will flower all winter, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy year-round aquatic beauty.

This plant is particularly striking in the early and late months of the year when its white flowers contrast beautifully with the surrounding foliage. Its fragile leaves may sometimes be damaged during transit, but don’t worry – simply remove the damaged leaves, and new ones will quickly grow in their place.

Key Features:

  • Hardy and Resilient: Flowers all year round if protected from frost.
  • Free Flowering: Blooms in early spring, late summer, and autumn, offering continuous beauty.
  • Fragile Leaves: May need to be trimmed after transit, but new leaves will regrow quickly.
  • Growth Rate: Medium
  • Sun/Shade: Full sun to part shade
  • Season: Spring, Autumn, Winter

Planting & Care Instructions: Plant in still water, away from splashing fountains, and gradually lower the plant so the leaves can reach the surface within a few days. Deep water plants like the Water Hawthorn do not require repotting, so there’s no need to remove the mesh basket. The plant thrives in depths ranging from 10 to 90 cm, and it spreads to 70-90 cm.
