American Frogbit has green heart shaped leaves that float on the waters surface. At first the plants might tip over when first put into the pond. It takes about two weeks for it to send out the runners, but then it spreads like crazy and you have a really nice floating plant. If Frogbit roots into soil in the bog areas of the pond, it will grow upright as a marginal plant. It can survive winters in zone 6 by sinking dormant buds (turions) to the bottom, but thrives best as a perennial in warmer zones. It is important to note that Limnobium spongia should not be confused with the non-native Limnobium laevigatum (Amazon Frogbit), which is less cold-hardy. If you live in an area that has extremely hot summers, Large Leaf Giant Sensitive is a better choice than Frogbit.
