Water Hawthorne is a great
flowering plant that thrives from early fall until late
spring when the water is cold. Grows and blooms in
cool/cold water of late fall until summer and goes
dormant in warm water. The white fragrant flowers
are present from September until April. The flowers are
held above the mottled foliage that is oblong green. The
undersides of the leaves are red in color. Flowers
have a slight vanilla fragrance.
NOTE: During the warm summer months and early fall months the bulb you receive will be dormant.
The dormant bulbs can not be added to a cold pond, one below 55 degrees. In colder climates, purchase the dormant bulb and let them root as the water cools down. Then they will start to bloom in the fall.
GROWING TIP: can be planted in the same pot with a water
lily. They are dormant when the lily is blooming
and the Water Hawthorne is active, growing and blooming
when the water lily is dormant.
Hardy to zone 4 or
higher
