Nymphoides Thunbergiana Yellow Water Snowflake

Nymphoides Thunbergiana Yellow Water Snowflake

Nymphoides Thunbergiana, also known as the Yellow Water Snowflake, is a delicate little pond plant that has a profusion of yellow flowers that extend 5cm out of the water on plantlets, floating across the water surface. The small yellow flowers are covered in small delicate hairs, giving the appearance of snowflakes over the water.

Plant the Yellow Water Snowflake in still water away from splashing fountains. Nymphoides Thunbergiana can be vigorous in very shallow, marshy ground. No maintenance is necessary but excess growth can be trimmed when required. Deep water pond plants are more tolerant of shade and moving water, but equally good at providing surface cover, helping to keep the water clear.

Where do you plant deep water pond plants?
Deep Water Plants are best placed in still water away from constant splashing and flow from the likes of fountains and waterfalls. Nymphoides Thunbergiana, the Yellow Water Snowflake, grows best in full sun but can tolerate some shade. When placing Deep Water Plants into the pond make sure to lower them in stages to allow the plant to acclimatize to its new depth, this way the leaves can stretch to the surface during each stage of the descent.
