Pontederia cordata ‘Alba’ is an elegant white variety of the common Pickerel Weed, featuring a more compact growth habit. Its glossy, heart-shaped leaves form dense, attractive clumps that provide a lush backdrop. In summer, short, upright spikes of starry white flowers emerge, beautifully contrasting with the green foliage. This hardy perennial is perfect for adding structure to pond planting schemes, particularly along the margins. Height: 70cm (27″). Spread: 60cm (24″). Planting depth: For Zones 2 & 3, plant 20cm (8″) below water level. Please note: Since plant height and spread vary with the seasons, we list by pot size instead of specific dimensions. The plant size upon arrival may differ depending on the time of year, so images are for reference only. Grow Pontederia fully submerged in ponds to a maximum depth of up to 20cm (8″) below water level. Choose a position in full sun.
