Alisma (Water Plantains)
2 products
The Alisma genus, commonly known as water plantains, provides valuable habitat and food for UK wildlife. Its broad leaves offer shelter for aquatic invertebrates, while its delicate white flowers attract pollinators like bees and hoverflies.
Birds such as moorhens and ducks feed on the seeds, and the plant’s shallow-water roots help stabilise pond edges. Alisma thrives in wetlands, supporting a balanced ecosystem by improving water quality and providing cover for amphibians. This hardy perennial suits naturalistic planting schemes and thrives in both still and slow-moving water.
