Variegated Water Celery (Oenanthe javanica Flamingo')

Variegated Water Celery (Oenanthe javanica 'Flamingo')

Variegated Water Celery has dainty foliage that is variegated pink, green and white, strongly variegated in Spring. Blooms with a a white lace like flower when mature. It is very winter hardy and can be planted in stream beds, the waterfall or in between rocks around the edge of the pond. Variegated water celery makes a great ground cover in wet areas and grows quickly, although not as quickly or as large as green water celery!

Not recommended in hot, dry desert regions, although you could try it in a streambed in full shade.
