Product Overview

Frogbit (Limnobium spongia)

Frogbit is a small floating plant (usually 2-4"), well suited for container water gardens and smaller water features.The green heart shaped leaves resemble a miniature waterlily and float on the surface. It multiplies quickly in warm weather with runners like a strawberry plant, which helps shade the surface and remove nutrients from the water. If crowded its stems will elongate, and leaves that grow out of the water will resemble a floating mat of baby water poppy. To prevent crowding, simply remove excess plants from the pond, which also helps to remove the nutrients they have absorbed. Frogbit forms buds that sink to the bottom of the pond to winter over until spring. 

Frogbit (Limnobium spongia)
Hardiness Zones: 4-10
Light Requirements: Full Sun to Part Shade. May sunburn in full sun in hot dry climates. Gets larger in part shade.
Height: 1/2" - 1" unless crowded

    I got two of these for my pond. They are a lot smaller plant than I expected. this is why I gave it a 4 star. I hope they grow quickly.

    Posted by Patricia Perez on May 19th 2020

    I was very pleased when I received my delivery. All the plants were packed thoughtfully, healthy and a good size. If comparison to other on-line suppliers I've tried in the past, Lily Blooms was a 100% positive experience. Thank you!

    This plant along with the others I ordered were delivered on time and in great shape. I have always been able to count on Lilyblooms.
