- Water Poppy can be left as a floating plant, but will grow best if planted.
- It produces oval, fleshy floating leaves and handsome golden 3-petaled flowers
- The leaves float on the surface
- Flowers: The yellow flowers are held several inches above the handsome, oval leaves. and the plant flowers in the summer (June-Sept)

- Height: 6" to 1'
- Planting depth: 6-12". Plant in small pots using heavy loam soil and place in the shallow end of your pond with top of pots 2-6" beneath the surface of the water. (small fabric planters are great for water poppies!)
