Alisma parviflorum (American Plantain)

Alisma, commonly known as water plantain, is a graceful marginal perennial with upright, lance-shaped green leaves that emerge from shallow water or saturated soil. This cultivar produces airy, branching stems carrying numerous small, delicate pale pink to white flowers, giving a light, floating appearance above the foliage during summer.

This plant is valuable for pond and wetland ecosystems, providing habitat for aquatic insects and contributing to biodiversity around water margins. Its fine-textured flowers and tidy growth habit make it ideal for naturalistic pond edges, wildlife ponds, and wet garden planting schemes.
