Pond Plant: Alisma plantago-aquatica - water plantainWater plantain (Alisma plantago ) Water plantain looks little like land plantains. It is found in shallow fresh water across the UK, and grows up to 1m tall, although its leaves only reach 30cm. Flowers are small but delicate, and it's a helpful newt plant. We offer water plantain as generous 110cc cc plugs, depending on availability. Please note that these plants are only available on a seasonal basis. The nursery grows new stock from autumn to early
