floating heart

Overview

Floating heart (Nymphoides aurantiaca) is a plant species native to tropical Asia, Australia, and other Pacific islands. This aquatic perennial produces delicate yellow-orange flowers at the surface of the water. Its heart-shaped leaves are held above the water, enabling the plant to float freely. The plant grows in standing water, making it a perfect addition to many water gardens. It requires full sunlight and well-oxygenated water, and flowering is best in warmer temperatures. With adequate care, floating heart is an ornamental beauty that brings splashes of colour to well-maintained water gardens.
