Echinodorus cordifolius 'Marble Queen' (Aquatic) ('Marble Queen') - 'Marble Queen' is a striking variegated form of the species. Dramatic pattern of creamy yellow and green variegation appear throughout the foliage of this marginal (bog) plant. In the spring, this plant forms a stout rosette of submerged leaves that look like light green, undulatiing water lily leaves. However, it also has a strong tendency to grow above the surface in shallow water (depth 18" and under) and send up leaf blades which are stiffer and have a heart shape. In the summer, white flowers bloom for a long period on stalks that are first erect, but later arch over. It will reach about 2 feet tall by 3 feet spread, prefers part sun, and is hardy to about 20 degrees F. We grew this plant form 2003 until 2007.
