Cardamine lyrata is actually a marsh plant which grows to a height of 20-50cm and a width of 15-30cm but also a familiar aquarium plant which thrives under water. A characteristic trailing growth form makes it highly decorative and “water roots” often form on the plant itself. Plant in groups and make sure the water temperature does not exceed 28 degrees for long (this makes the leaves much smaller and the plant more leggy). Also suitable in garden ponds in the summer.
