European marshwort
Apium nodiflorum
European marshwort is an aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial that thrives in wet ditches, stream margins, and boggy soils in partial shade. It requires consistently wet to waterlogged conditions and will struggle if allowed to dry out. Ideal for pond margins or rain gardens, it produces small white flowers that attract pollinators throughout summer.
