The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Hydrophyllum appendiculatum, Great Waterleaf

~Not sown for 2024~

Hydrophyllum appendiculatum 

Great Waterleaf

  • Biennial
  • Average soils 
  • Partial to full shade
  • 2’ tall, 2’ wide 
  • Spring Blooms
  • Ontario native, Thrives in Open Woodland and Forest ecosystems

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/hydrophyllum-appendiculatum-great-waterleaf-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

These are a very showy, biennial species, forming a green rosette of leaves the first year and then blooming and setting seed the following spring.
