Although there isn’t much to see below the surface on these stunning aquatic plants, they sure put on a show above. The circular leaves with a notched “v” can be 20cm or more in diameter. The perfectly symmetrical flowers grow on long stems from under the water and are just stunning. Keep these plants inside their pot in a pond or deep bowl that is at least 60cm tall. Keep them fully submerged and if you find your pond is too deep you can lift them up using bricks under the pot so that the leaves and flowers can break the surface of the water.
