Care Guide

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Disease free. Leaves can be eaten by water snails and can be affected by the Brown China Mark moth. The China Mark Moth cuts oval shapes from the leaf margins, which can cause extensive damage. Check the underside of leaves and squash the protective cases and brush off. Alternatively remove the affected leaves and burn.MORE

Grow in water

Needs a permanently wet soil.

Full sun

Position in a pond where the plants will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily in spring/summer.

Wet, poorly drained soil

Plant in a pond with poorly drained soil. Clay or loam is best.

Feeding may be needed

No feeding is needed if you plant straight into a mature pond with a good layer of sediment, but in newer ponds it's a good idea to feed in the spring, using a slow release tablet fertiliser to make sure that excess nutrients do not leak into the pond and encourage algae. ?v=1613300718
