Water lettuce is one of the most popular pond plants for backyard pond owners. This remarkable species, also known as Pistia stratiotes, is renowned for its rosette of velvety leaves that float gracefully on the water surface, resembling a blossoming lotus from a distance.
Providing much more than visual beauty, water lettuce serves a dual purpose: promoting biodiversity and maintaining the ecological balance in your pond. Whether you’re a pond enthusiast seeking a tranquil aquatic ambiance or a water gardener fostering a thriving wildlife habitat, our water lettuce is a must-have addition to your backyard oasis.
