We have loads of water celery, complements of Bonnie in NJ about a

Want some?


Thanks, that is kind of you to offer, but forgive me if it sounds rude
of me to ask again, but what kind of plant are we talking about?

The scientific name: Vallisneria grows underwater.
The scientific name: Oenanthe javanica grows beautiful leaves above
the water. Both of these have other names also, but are commonly
called water celery.

Sorry to come in to the discussion so late, my granddaughter was
visting
and took up all my time.
The water celery that Jim and I have is Oenanthe javanica. It
survives the
winers here in NJ.
