2-Emergent Plants

These versatile water garden plants will grow as submerged oxygenating pond plants as deep as two feet below the waters' surface or as an emergent bog plant (rooted in shallow water and having most of its vegetative growth above water). Quite a few of these varieties also flower. Great for protecting fish and adding wonderful color at the base of other bog plants. They can be grown in creeks and streams with roots/stems anchored below the water.
