Alpine pondweed
Potamogeton alpinus
Alpine pondweed is an aquatic perennial that thrives in cool, clean ponds or slow-moving water and must remain submerged or have its roots permanently in water. It prefers full sun to partial shade and does best in temperate to cold climates, making it unsuitable for warm indoor settings. It is best suited for naturalistic water gardens or wildlife ponds rather than ornamental home use.
