Characteristics
Requirements
Planting
Grow in deep mud at pool margins or in loam filled baskets in water up to 60cm. Full sun would be preferable for this plant to be able to flourish. This plant is suitable for zone 3 and 4 of a pond.
Caring and Maintenance
This is a very low maintenance yet it will need deadheading and removal of yellow leaves regularly.
Pond Plant Benefits
Pond plants add interest, colour and structure to ponds. They are ideal for places near to patio or decking areas, where their sweet aroma can be appreciated. Deeper pond plants provide a visual aspect to the central area of the pond that makes it really come alive.
