Hydrocotyle ranunculoides ‘Variegated’ – Floating Pennywort

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides ‘Variegated’ is a stunning aquatic plant admired for its clover-like, scalloped leaves with vibrant green centers and creamy-white margins. The distinctive umbrella-shaped foliage floats gracefully on the water’s surface or creeps along edges, adding a fresh, luminous accent to ponds, aquariums, and container water gardens.

The variegated form offers a refined ornamental look, while its larger clover-shaped leaves resemble those of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides but are noticeably broader and more striking. Whether floating freely or rooted in shallow margins, it instantly adds a natural, elegant touch to any aquascape.

At Aquarium Plants Factory®, each plant is carefully cultivated for optimal health and vibrant variegation, ensuring that it arrives ready to thrive and beautify your setup with its distinctive charm.
