Water Thyme (Elodea canadensis)

An essential submerged plant for ponds. Whorls of small leaves on long branching stems. It not only helps keep water clear and reduce algae growth, it also provides a spawning area for koi and goldfish and protection for baby fish. Hardy to zone 3. Grows submerged in long branching strands in full sun or partial shade. Plants come in a mesh bag. Just drop it in the pond or put a small stone in the bag to sink it to the bottom of the pond.
