Moneywort (Bacopa Monnieri) <br> Grows submerged or emerging/shallow

Plant Description

Moneywort (Bacopa Monnieri) also called Bacopa, has beautiful, round, green leaves of foliage on this delightful, flowering plant. Small, bluish-white flowers add beauty and interest when the plant is grown as an emergent plant. Moneywort looks great on the borders of ponds when used as an emergent plant-- as it helps to soften the rockery. Moneywort also adds texture and interest to the surface of the water when grown as an emergent plant. Moneywort can grow a lush carpet on the surface of the water. The emerald green color along with small blue flowers add to the beauty of this lively pond plant.  Moneywort grows above and below the water so Moneywort can be submerged and used as an oxygenator in ponds and aquariums.
