Oenanthe aquatica | water dropwort P9
Oenanthe aquatica, commonly known as water dropwort, is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It is commonly found growing in or near shallow water and wetlands, and is known for its distinctive white, umbrella-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer months. Despite its beauty, this plant should be handled with care as it is highly toxic if ingested.

- It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil.
- Regular pruning is necessary to keep this plant from getting too large and taking over the surrounding area.
