**Thalia dealbelta**, commonly known as powdery thalia, hardy canna, or water canna, is a striking aquatic perennial native to wetlands in the southern United States and Mexico. It is often used in water gardens or ponds due to its tall stature (reaching 3 to 6 feet), attractive bluish-green foliage, and vibrant purple flowers that bloom from late spring to early autumn​
This plant thrives in full sun and wet, loamy soils and can even tolerate being submerged up to 18 inches. It's a hardy species, ideal for USDA zones 6 to 10, and serves as a food source for wildlife like ducks and butterflies. Additionally, it contributes to water purification by removing pollutants from standing water​
Despite its hardiness, it requires some maintenance due to its rapid growth and spreading rhizomes, which can be controlled by planting in containers
**Butomus umbellatus** , commonly known as **flowering rush**, is a perennial aquatic plant that thrives in wetlands, ponds, and slow-moving water bodies. Native to Europe and Asia, it has also spread to parts of North America, where it can sometimes become invasive.
