Utricularia intermedia, Flat-leaf Bladderwort, is a medium growing, perennial, aquatic bladderwort. It grows suspended in the boggy waters with no roots.  Its leaves are finely divided. Bladders are found on whitish stolons growing through the substrate. It prefers dark, tea colored, boggy waters rich in tannins.  It does best in full sun, growing under and among emergent aquatic plants, such as water lilies, frogbit and pickerel weed. Its flowers reach above the water from May to November. They are large and bright yellow.  As Fall approaches, it forms turions (winter buds), which settle to the bottom, and help it survive winters. If it is grown in temperatures above 55°F (12°C), it will continue to grow through the winter. Grows best in and amoung emergent plants such as pickerelweed. It can become weedy and invasive in water bogs. This is a great plant for the garden bog pool or aquarium, and will help reduce the mosquito population.

Plants shipped as a 1-2+" sprig with one or more growing tips. In it's dormant season, it will be shipped as a dormant turion.

Length: 18+"

Nice sized cutting

I received a nice sized cutting about 6 inches long that has started growing.

The description is accurate. The actual plant is underwhelming for $12. Normally plants at $12 are an entire plant compared to their $5 counterparts.

Neat plant

These are interesting to me with the little bladders and cool flowers. What was sent to me was worth what I paid. On arrival there were few to no bladders but since developed several.
