Disk waterhyssop is a low-growing aquatic perennial that thrives in consistently wet to flooded conditions, making it perfect for rain gardens, pond margins, and bog plantings. Plant it in fertile, moisture-retentive soil and ensure it has access to shallow water or perpetually saturated soil throughout the growing season. It produces small, delicate white flowers and spreads gently to form a ground-hugging mat in wet areas.
