Callitriche palustris, commonly known as water starwort, is a versatile aquatic plant that can grow in both still and slow-moving bodies of water. This plant features small, delicate leaves and tiny white or yellow-green flowers that bloom in the summer. Water starwort is a great choice for Irish gardens with water features, as it can help oxygenate the water and provide cover for fish and other aquatic creatures. It's also a valuable food source for waterfowl and can attract wildlife to your garden.
Why we like it:
- Provides oxygenation and cover for aquatic creatures in water features.
- Attracts wildlife such as waterfowl to your garden.
- Easy to grow and maintain.
What to know:
- Water starwort prefers still or slow-moving water and can tolerate both sun and shade.
- Plant in shallow water or in soil around the edge of a pond or water feature.
- Propagate by dividing the plant in the spring or by planting stem cuttings in the summer.
- Blooms in the summer and may continue flowering into the fall.
- Prune to control growth and prevent the plant from becoming too invasive.
Height and Spread:
- Water starwort typically grows to a height of 5-15 cm and can spread to form dense mats in shallow water.
