Myriad-leaf is a fully aquatic perennial plant that grows submerged in ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams, making it an excellent oxygenator for water gardens and wildlife ponds. Plant it in a shallow basket of aquatic compost and submerge to a depth of 30–90 cm, positioning it in a sunny to partly shaded spot for best growth. It provides important habitat and spawning cover for fish and aquatic invertebrates, but monitor growth as it can spread vigorously in favorable conditions.
