Overview

This eye-catching perennial will add some summer structure to the margins of a pond, or those boggy areas of the garden that never quite dry out. It forms a clump of upright stems, which are topped with a cluster of leaf-like bracts. Then, from late summer to autumn, small yellow-brown flower spikelets appear, further adding to its appeal.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: reliably moist or boggy, or aquatic compost
  • Depth of water: 0-10cm
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: August to September
  • Hardiness: tender (needs winter protection)

Care guide

Cut back to the base in autumn and overwinter potted plants under glass, sitting them in a shallow tray of water and maintaining temperatures above 5°C.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
