Duckweed Overview
This genus consists of about 8 species of floating, aquatic perennials, which produce tiny bright green leaves, as well as minute, green flowers. They are half hardy, need a sunny position, and you should remove excess plantlets when necessary. Propagation is by redistribution of plantlets as required.
