How to Grow and Care for Pipeworts

The sevenangle pipewort (*Eriocaulon aquaticum*) is a tiny aquatic plant found in wetlands. The leaves are usually submerged underwater, and the flowers are carried by single, upright stalks which are hollow and seven-sided. Beetles eat the plant's roots and shoots, and the parts of the plant that underwater are creating a habitat for invertebrates that provide food for fish and other species}.

Eriocaulon decemflorum is a delicate aquatic herb distinguished by its slender, grass-like leaves and compact, spherical white flower heads. These flower heads often emerge just above the water's surface on erect, slender stalks during blooming season. Adapting to its wetland habitat, eriocaulon decemflorum typically forms dense clusters, which can create the appearance of a flowering mat on calm waters.
