WATER LETTUCE FLOATING AQUATIC POND PLANT

Also known as water cabbage, this floating plant resembles lettuce with soft velvety leaves. Water lettuce reproduces quickly by producing small plantlets radiating out from the center of the plant.  Their intricate root structure provides spawning areas for fish and shelter for baby fish. These plants can grow quite large, notice the penny placed near the center of the plant on the right. A great plant for the pond to provide shade and improve water quality.
