Stratiotes aloides (Ditch Knifegrass)

Stratiotes aloides is a rare and highly sought-after aquatic plant. It has dark green, stiff, elongated and pointed leaves with serrated edges, arranged in submerged rosettes that resemble pineapple tufts.

In June, the plant emerges to the surface, displaying a small, three-petaled white flower that blooms alone in the axil of a leaf rosette. After the bloom and subsequent wilting of the flower, the plant begins to sink to the bottom of the pond, where it will spend the winter, only to re-emerge and bloom again with the arrival of the following spring.

Plant Information:

  • Exposure: Full sun
  • Flowering: June - August

Stratiotes aloides is ideal for sunny ponds and makes a fascinating and rare addition to aquatic environments.
