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.
Spring Shipping Schedule: Preorder Expected Ship Dates
This is the expected shipping weeks for preorder season that is about December through April. Plants cannot be shipped until they are strong enough for transit and the weather from Ohio to you is warm enough so that the lifeforms can survive overnight stops. If the spring weather is sunny and warm in northern Ohio, then some plants may ship earlier. If the spring weather has a lot of storms, cloudy weather and is cool, then some plants need a tad more time to get strong enough for transit.
