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.

Sarracenia psittacina
Sarracenia psittacina, also called pitcher plant, is a small carnivorous plant with a broad, almost horizontal habit. The plant flowers very early in spring with large, fragrant, brown-red flowers, which are mainly fertilized by bees. Once fertilization is a fact, it is time to produce plenty of leaves again. The leaves here do not consist of erect, broad funnel-shaped beakers, but of oblique, horizontal beaker tubes with a parrot's head. Through the small opening in the head, the insect is lured within the spherical space. The wide horizontal tube then seems to be the right escape route, but it becomes narrower and smaller and the many hairs prevent a return. This sarracenia likes a spot in full sun

Sarracenia stevensii
Sarracenia stevensii, also called pitcher plant, is a carnivorous plant. The plant blooms in early spring with large, maroon-red flowers, which are mainly fertilized by bees. Once reproduction is guaranteed, the special leaves of the plant appear. These funnel-shaped cups are narrow and bright green at the base, higher up they are wider and deeply red-brown veined. The funnel lid and the funnel neck are white with thick red veins. The tube rim is very slippery and the scent of the nectar attracts insects, the funnel lid prevents escape and the highly digesting enzymes ensure that the insects can be absorbed as food. Sarracenia likes a position in full sun.

Scirpus cernuus
Scirpus cernus, syn. Isolepis cernua, called coniferous grass in Dutch, is a very decorative underwater grass with evergreen, fine, bright green grass-like leaves and abundant mini white flowers that tower on thin stalks just above the water surface. Coniferous grass likes a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade and a water depth that may vary from 0 to 60 cm. This plant likes an acidic to neutral, permanently moist soil and can be incorporated well in the filter zone of the pond, although some winter protection is advisable there. Coniferous grass is fairly hardy, tolerates sea wind and even brackish water, is tolerant of air pollution.

The stems are brown-red. The plant blooms from July to September with violet-colored, waxy flowers. These are grouped in long spikes on tall, red stems. Thalia dealbata "Red Stem" likes a warm, sunny position and a water depth of 30 to 60 cm. It prefers good loamy soil. The plant is hardy if it is overwintered sufficiently deep in the winter months and thus frost-free, a depth of 60cm is recommended during these months.
