It is is a robust, disease-resistant plant that is also a great nutritious snack for your fish!. Azolla is hardy to Zone 7. (What is your Hardiness Zone?) It ships as a pint by volume (several hundred plants.) Please read the planting instructions to insure transplant success. As with all aquatic plants, do not release into the wild.Environmental Implications:All Azolla species live in symbiosis with a blue green alga Anabaena azollae which is able to fixate sufficient nitrogen for both itself and its host plant. In exchange Azolla provides the Anabaena with a protected environment and a fixed source of carbon (Wagner, 1997) This makes Azolla important in enhancing world nutrition. It is currently used in some rice paddies. J And J Aquafarms. For over 35 years, we have given you our old-fashioned promise: Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
