Overview

This perennial rush boasts tall, evergreen stems crowned with distinctive brown spiky flowers emerging throughout the summer months. Its hollow, pith-filled leaves, tinged with greyish-green hues, add to its striking appearance as they rise from the base. While its vigorous growth makes it unsuitable for smaller ponds, its robust root system and impressive stature render Schoenoplectus lacustris an excellent choice for larger wildlife ponds.

Care guide

These plants are potted up (using a suitable aquatic compost) into aquatic pots. These pots are made of a fine mesh, which allows water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients. If you are using them as a aquatic plant, they can be planted into neutral to acidic soil (for best results) up to a water covering of 30cm (12") deep. To prevent damage to pond liners, refrain from planting this robust bullrush in lined ponds, as its vigorous nature may lead to root penetration. Instead, opt for spacious, natural, or clay puddled wildlife ponds, where its expansive growth can thrive and spread without constraint.
