Pontederia (Pickerelweeds)
2 products
Pontederia, commonly known as pickerelweed, thrives in shallow water and wetland areas. Its striking violet-blue spikes attract pollinators like bees and hoverflies. The plant offers shelter for aquatic insects, which in turn provide food for fish and birds.
In the UK, Pontederia supports biodiversity by creating habitats for frogs, newts, and dragonflies. Dense stands of this plant help stabilise pond edges and reduce erosion. Its nectar-rich flowers bloom from summer to early autumn, extending foraging opportunities for wildlife.
