Care Guide

Pest and disease free

Virtually pest and disease free MORE

Keep well watered

Needs a permanently wet soil - do not allow soil to dry out.

Full sun to partial shade

Position where the plants will receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily in spring/summer.

Any moist, poorly drained soil

Any permanently moist or waterlogged soil.

Feeding may be needed

No feeding is needed if you plant straight into a mature pond due to the nutrient content of pond water, but in a non-pond setting it's a good idea to feed in the spring, using a slow release general fertiliser. ?v=1613300718
