Seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia)

From $6.00

I’m native to N. America but not to NY State.

I attract a variety of pollinators.

I like moist soils and am most often found in wetland areas.

I have an interesting seed capsule that is shaped like a box. The "box" has a tiny opening in the middle that when shaken spills many tiny seeds.

My seedbox creates winter interest and is pretty in a dried flower arrangement.
