Crested Floating Heart is a floating-leaved plant living in shallow water. Its leaves are heart-shaped and look like miniature waterlily. The slender ‘leafstalk’ is in fact a stem, bringing the leaf and flowers to the water surface. The flowers are white and tiny, and have a vertical fold that runs along the middle of each petal.
