5 Seeds Water Mimosa Aeschynomene fluitans Aquatic Floating Plant

Water Mimosa (Aeschynomene fluitans) is a floating aquatic plant with feathery submerged foliage and small, puffy yellow blooms, prized for adding delicate texture and surface interest to ponds and water features. Its airy, fern-like appearance contrasts nicely with broad-leaved aquatics and floats freely at the water surface. A popular choice for water gardeners seeking a light, ornamental accent.
This floating plant is grown primarily for ornamental display in ponds, water bowls, and calm water gardens. It spreads across the surface and produces small yellow flowers during warm conditions. Simply place it on the water surface where it can float freely and drift with gentle currents.
