Marsilea vestita (Aquatic) (California Marsilea) - Compared to the other Marsilea we grow which have distinct markings or silver gray leaves, this species is plain but it is still quite attractive and is our native Marsillea so we really like it. The perfectly-formed wedge-shaped leaflets are a medium green, except the new growth which has a bronzy tinge. It will grow to as much as 12 inches tall, and can be planted in water up to 9 inches deep, or in a moist soil, and will do well in the full sun or partial shade. It is said to retain its green color through the winter. It is hardy to about 20 degrees F.
