**Plant orders ship Mon, Tues and Wed of each week. Please allow extra delivery time if order is placed Wed-Sun

Very attractive plant for cooler water in the fall, winter, and spring. Flowers in the spring and again in the fall. In southern climates, Water Hawthorn will often bloom all winter long, from September to June. Water Hawthorne extends the season of flowers in the pond, blooming before water lilies in the spring and flowering again in the fall after water lilies have finished blooming. Blooms are white with black stamens and have a vanilla fragrance. The foliage is elliptical, shiny, and dark green, sometimes with a tinge of purple. Blooms are 1-2 inches above the water surface. It grows in sun to part shade in water from 6 inches to 4 feet deep with a spread of about 24-36 inches. Water Hawthorne is hardy in cold water and can withstand a freeze, needing no particular winter care or attention. It goes dormant in the summer months.Color: White blooms with green elliptical foliageSun Light: Sun to partial shadeZone: 5-11Flowers: White blooms with a vanilla fragranceSpread: 24-30 inchesDepth: 6 inches to 4 feet deepHeight: few inches above the surface of the waterIt is best to plant water hawthorn in loam soil and place in your pond at water depths between 6 and 24 inches.
