‘Azolla’ Aquatic Plant – Good for the Planet
Azolla is a very small floating fern plant, often called fairy moss, with tiny scale-shaped leaves. It forms a lush, velvety carpet on the water’s surface, displaying a mesmerizing bluish-green hue or a vibrant crimson foliage during autumn.
One fascinating aspect of Azolla is its symbiotic relationship with algae, which provides the plant with nitrogen from the atmosphere as nourishment.
Thriving on the nutrients present in the water, Azolla showcases its adaptability and resilience.

Description
An interesting characteristic of Azolla is that it has a mutual living relationship with alga that fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere for the tiny plant as food.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.
For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
