The Botswana Wonder is an impressive aquatic plant that grows gracefully along the water surface. Its bright yellow, pea-like flowers provide a cheerful splash of color. Additionally, the plant’s spreading foliage adds texture and visual interest to ponds, water gardens, or shallow water areas.

Fascinating Sensitive Leaves

One of the most captivating features of the Botswana Wonder is its sensitive leaves. When touched, the leaves close instantly and reopen shortly afterward. This natural movement adds an interactive element to your water garden, delighting both adults and children alike. Furthermore, it demonstrates the plant’s unique responsiveness to its environment, making it a conversation piece in any pond.

Easy to Grow and Maintain

The Botswana Wonder thrives in full sun to partial shade. It floats naturally on the water surface and requires minimal care. In addition, it adapts to a wide range of pond conditions, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced water gardeners. Its vigorous growth ensures that it quickly establishes a vibrant display.

Perfect for Water Garden Design

Use the Botswana Wonder to highlight specific areas of your pond or to create a floating border around lilies and other aquatic plants. Its bright flowers contrast beautifully with green foliage and reflect sunlight, enhancing the pond’s overall aesthetic. Moreover, the interactive leaf movement adds dynamic visual interest to the water garden.

Add Color and Interaction to Your Pond

Whether you are designing a small pool or a larger pond, the Botswana Wonder brings both beauty and intrigue. Its yellow flowers, floating foliage, and sensitive leaves make it a memorable and decorative addition. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a unique and engaging aquatic plant.

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.
