Pond water-crowfoot is an aquatic perennial best grown in the shallow margins of a garden pond or slow-moving water feature, where its white flowers float attractively on the surface. It requires consistently submerged or saturated conditions and should be planted in aquatic baskets with heavy loam soil. Trim back growth periodically to prevent it from dominating a small pond.
