Welcome to the Aquatic Plant Pages

Huge amounts of information on aquatic plants is available on the Internet, but finding it is very time consuming and frustrating. How do you identify and get information on a plant if you don't know it's name?

The purpose of this web site is to provide information on a large variety of aquatic plants on one web site, combine as much of the Internet's information as possible, and provide photos to help with plant identification. To try and accomplish this task, I have "borrowed" information from many sites and added it to the information I had available. "Borrowed" information and photo's are properly credited if the original source is known. The area on the left side of each page is used for navigation, to allow you easy access to the other pages that are available.

This site relies heavily on pictures to help you identify the different plants and understand what they will look like in your water garden. The use of pictures instead of underlined text for links causes the pages to load slower, but should make the identification of plants and locating information about specific plants much easier. Please wait for the pictures to load, they are there to help you.

For those new to water gardening there is a section on water gardening basics and water quality, along with a page that tries to define the difference between the basic groups of water plants.

I hope you will find this site informative and useful.
