Product Overview
Azolla Floating Fern aka Fairy Moss (Azolla caroliniana)
Azolla is a tiny plant only about 1/4" long, but which grows quickly and can form large, connected floating sections. This floating pond plant is a true fern, not a moss. Azolla may turn reddish or even completely red in full sun, or conversely in cooler weather. This attractive floating pond plant will grow in damp soil or on moist rocks along the ponds edge. On damp soil or when not allowed to spread, it will form thick layers; it has been used effectively as a very companion plant in bonzai gardens. Koi eat azolla and it is very nutritious. US native.
