Description
The Carolina grasswort is a turf-forming plant from North America and the southern part of South America. It is more rarely available than the Brazilian grasswort, L. brasiliensis, and differs from it i.a. by spathulate leaves with blunt tip. In its terrestrial form, Lilaeopsis carolinensis gets taller than L. brasiliensis, but it stays similarly short when it grows under water.
Lilaeopsis carolinensis is a grass-like member of the carrot family whose habitats are wet to marshy and often brackish.2 The upright leaves grow singly or a few together from the rooting nodes of a creeping, branched rhizome.2 Their tip is blunt and the upper part flattened and narrowly spatulate, whereas the base is hollow and almost circular in cross-section.23
Submersed it closely resembles L. brasiliensis, because underwater its leaves stay much shorter than on land and grow hardly taller than those of that species.23 It can be identified more reliably by its flowers and fruits, which often develop in marsh culture, than by the leaf length, which is about double in emersed plants.

The product didn't look as fresh as usual. I planted it anyway. Unfortunately, nothing was left after a week. Too bad, I wanted to try a different ground cover plant. (read more)
Show original
Hat sich nach einer Woche komplett aufgelöst
Ware sah nicht mehr so frisch aus wie gewohnt.Ich habe diese trotzdem dann eingepflanzt. Leider ist nach einer Woche nichts mehr übrig geblieben. Schade wollte mal einen anderen Bodendecker testen. Würde ich nicht nochmal kaufen.
