Description
Water lettuce, also known as shell flower, is a type of aquatic plant that floats on the surface of water. It is characterized by its lettuce-like leaves that form a rosette shape. Water lettuce is commonly found in ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers. It is known for its ability to absorb excess nutrients from the water, which helps in maintaining water quality. However, it can also become invasive and disrupt the natural balance of ecosystems if not properly managed.

This table 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.
