Various-leaved water-starwort
Callitriche platycarpa
Various-leaved water-starwort is a fully aquatic or semi-aquatic plant found in slow-moving and still freshwater bodies across Europe and North Africa. It requires a clean, cool freshwater environment and is best suited for wildlife ponds or aquatic restoration projects rather than typical home water gardens. It plays an ecological role in oxygenating water and providing habitat for aquatic invertebrates.
