As the name implies, this plant, and its cousins, resemble four-leaf clovers. Actually, they are ferns. In this case, the leaves are about 1 inch in diameter, are medium green, and have a crenate, or notched edge. As with all of the Marselias, the leaves arise from a heavily branched, creeping rootstock which can grow to great lengths. A nice addition to any bog or small water garden in a restrictive pot. Shipped bare rooted from a 4 inch pot. ZONE 7

2009_lettuce_165.jpg IFP Water Lettuce - Pistia stratiodes
IFP014
Water Lettuce is one of the perennial favorites among pond keepers. Its ability to filter water and its unusual appearance make it a fitting addition to any medium sized to large pond setting. In smaller ponds or barrels it tends to overwhelm its tankmates. Its leaves are thick, fuzzy, and gray-green. The leaves form a rosette on the water surface. The plants produce runners in all directions and eventually form colonies wherever they are able to sit undisturbed. The flowers are insignificant. Masses of roots extending down into the water are outstanding water filteration aids. *** CANNOT SHIP TO FLA OR TEXAS ***
