An emergent or marginal perennial of streamsides, ditches and other shallow, running or still water, Helosciadium nodiflorum sends up creeping or ascending stems that root at the lower nodes. It prefers calcareous to neutral substrates and thrives in full sun, although it tolerates partial shade. The tiny white umbels appear from July to September.
