Callitriche, commonly known as Starwort, is a hardy oxygenating pond plant supplied as a bunch. This native aquatic plant helps maintain a healthy pond ecosystem by absorbing excess nutrients, improving water quality, and supporting natural algae control.
Its fine foliage provides valuable shelter for aquatic insects, tadpoles, newts, and other pond wildlife, making it an excellent addition to wildlife ponds and ornamental water gardens alike.
Easy to grow and suitable for ponds of all sizes, Callitriche can be planted or simply submerged in the pond where it will quickly establish and begin contributing to a clearer, healthier environment.
