Product Overview
Water velvet (Salvinia minima)
Water velvet is a true aquatic fern. The spongy, velvety leaves are pale green and approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length. This tiny floating pond plant is great for container water gardens. It will also adapt well to a larger water garden, although they may be consumed by koi.
Very fast growing in warm weather, water velvet does not overwinter except in the very warmest of climates. This species of water velvet is often confused with a different larger species, the Salvinia molesta complex, which is federally banned as invasive.
