Hottonia palustris, or Marsh Woundwort, is a perennial aquatic plant that should be placed with its feet in the water, between 10 and 80cm deep. It forms a carpet of light and airy leaves of a beautiful light green colour, which earned it its other name of Aquatic Yarrow. In spring, its clusters of white flowers with yellow throats appear on the water's surface. They will remind you of small primroses. It is a very useful oxygenating plant to keep your pond healthy.
From the primrose family, the genus Hottonia has 2 species of submerged aquatic perennials, mainly found in temperate Eurasia and eastern United States. Its name comes from the Dutch botanist Petrus Hotton (1648-1709). Hottonia palustris is naturally found in slow-moving waters, even in ditches or shallow muddy waters. It is present in ponds in France. It forms a carpet of upright and spreading stems adorned with finely divided leaves of a fresh green colour. Each plume measures between 7 and 12cm long. In May-June, clusters of 3 to 9 flowers with spreading corollas, 2 to 3cm in diameter appear at the end of upright stems above the water level. They are usually white-pink, or even lilac, with a yellow centre.
Aquatic yarrow will find its place in any water feature exposed to the sun, in non-calcareous water. It contributes to creating balance and achieving a biodiversity-friendly environment. Combine it in a pond or water feature with other oxygenating plants such as Elodea canadensis or Hippuris vulgaris. To adorn the edges of your water feature, consider an Iris ensata 'Gusto' with its magnificent bicoloured flowers, white and blue, and a Lysimachia nummularia with its numerous yellow flowers.

Botanical data
Hottonia palustris is an aquatic plant that lives with its feet in the water, between 10 and 80cm deep, on muddy bottoms or in a basket filled with aquatic plant compost. It thrives in acidic or neutral environments. Choose a sunny location. It is an oxygenating plant that contributes to the good health of your pond or basin. No pruning is necessary due to its slow growth. The establishment is delicate, as it does not like change: it may disappear after being planted, but re-emerges a little later, during its hardening. It is a hardy plant in any body of water that does not freeze over.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
