Water and swamp plants

Water and swamp plants

The aquatic plants or hydrophytes are plants adapted to a temporary or continuous existence wholly or largely under water (submers or emers). They have morphological adaptations that allow them to survive. While the 'true' aquatic plants do not root in the soil and can often live underwater (with the exception of the inflorescences), the helophytes or marsh plants root in the soil and usually rise above the surface of the water.

Zantedeschia aethiopica
Zantedeschia aethiopica, in English called white arum, is a high-upright, clump-forming root vegetable. The leaves are basic, fleshy, dark green colored and arrow-shaped, they usually stand on stems 40 to 60 cm long. Not only the foliage attracts attention, Zantedeschia aethiopica blooms from June to September with softly scented, white arum-like flowers, which actually consist of a white flower sheath surrounding a yellow spadix, followed later in the season by striking yellow fruits. White arum likes a position in partial shade or shade and moist to wet, neutral soil. The plant is moderately hardy and a good protective layer with mulch, wood or straw is recommended in winter.
