This versatile plant can also be planted in deep water, around lakes, or even on shorelines; best of all, Frogbit is ready for planting right out of the bag!

Frogbit is a floating plant with leathery heart-shaped leaves that are deeply notched at the base and thick in the center. Flowers are small and white and grow on stalks about 1/3 as tall as the leaves from summer to early fall. Frog Bit Blooms July-August and then goes dormant in Winter. Intermingles well with water lilies and other pond plants. So don't wait, pick yours up today!
