Care Guide

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Untroubled by pests, but may be affected by powdery mildew. This can be avoided by spacing the plants out well and avoiding overcrowding, as well as not allowing water to splash on the leaves.MORE

Keep well watered

Needs a permanently wet soil - do not allow soil to dry out, watering well if planted in a border.

Full sun to partial shade

Grows best in a sunny spot with some partial shade

Moist loam

Any permanently moist or waterlogged soil - loam is ideal.

Feeding not required

No need to feed - this plant gets all the nutrients it needs from pond water or soil. ?v=1613300718
