Some of the Echinodorus species will readily flower above the water surface too. Try E. cordifolius.
Plants that flower (easily) above water level?
Hi fellows, may I know that besides the "common" water lily, are there any other (stem) plants that easily flower above the water surface?

@stormhawk, I had looked through some photos of Echinodorus cordifolius; is it difficult to make it grow tall? It looked short & stumpy (but still broad-leaved) from the photos on Google. Btw, is it readily available in local market?
Yes it's readily available. I occasionally see it being sold in single bags at C328. It is capable of being grown emersed but it will flower in the aquarium if the flower stalk can go out of the water. With a rich substrate, CO2 and adequate lighting it should grow pretty tall. There are other species of swordplants and other aquatics that will readily flower if given the right conditions.

I've had Limnophilia aromatica flower, the whole stem will grow above water and it has very nice light purple flowers, as it's species states, it aromatic as well

Oh, that's great news, because I'm also looking for reddish hue plants as well, & to have one that flowers, is a convenience.Originally Posted by Jalal

Nice informations here.
Interested in getting Limnophilia aromatica flower. seems nice.
Do you have any pic of your plant and where can I getI've had Limnophilia aromatica flower, the whole stem will grow above water and it has very nice light purple flowers, as it's species states, it aromatic as well
how about Bacopa caroliniana (blue flower) and Ludwigia inclinata (yellow flower)?
It's simple...but no one said it will be easy
Ludwigia inclinata is in my list of plant consideration; I just didn't realize it flowers. The other plant, I have not heard of.
