Water Plantain

From LoveToKnow Garden

Water Plantain (Alisma) - Water plants, of which two are fitted for growing with hardy aquatics. A. Plantago is rather stately in habit, having tall panicles of pretty pink flowers. When once planted it sows itself freely, often becoming a weed. The other kind is A. ranunculoides, a few inches high, in summer bearing many rosy blossoms. Both are adapted for wet ditches, margins of pools, and lakes. A. natans is a small floating pretty British plant. There are one or two Chinese kinds, single and double.
