Oenanthe aquatica, commonly known as water dropwort, is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It is commonly found growing in or near shallow water and wetlands, and is known for its distinctive white, umbrella-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer months. Despite its beauty, this plant should be handled with care as it is highly toxic if ingested. Oenanthe aquatica can be a great addition to a water garden or a bog garden, adding a touch of unique beauty and interest. Why we like it: Water dropwort is a great plant for attracting pollinators to a water garden or bog garden. Its unique shape and form adds visual interest to any aquatic setting. It is a hardy and easy to grow plant, making it a great choice for beginner gardeners. What to know: Water dropwort is toxic if ingested, so be careful when handling this plant. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil. Regular pruning is necessary to keep this plant from getting too large and taking over the surrounding area. Water dropwort is considered invasive in some areas, so check with local authorities before planting it in a natural setting. It can also spread through its roots, so it's important to contain it in a pot or planted in a designated area. Height and Spread: Height: 60-90 cm Spread: 30-60 cm Show more
