Description

 Callitriche, commonly known as Water Starwort, is a versatile oxygenating pond plant ideal for helping to maintain clear and healthy pond water. Its fine green foliage grows beneath the water surface, providing valuable cover for fish, tadpoles and aquatic wildlife while helping to naturally reduce algae by competing for excess nutrients.

This hardy aquatic plant is suitable for wildlife ponds, ornamental ponds and natural water features. Callitriche can be planted in shallow margins or deeper water depending on the variety, where it will spread gently to create a soft natural appearance. It is particularly useful in wildlife ponds as it offers shelter for spawning fish and aquatic insects.

An easy-to-grow and low-maintenance pond plant, Callitriche is well suited to both small and large ponds and can tolerate a wide range of conditions once established.
