Care Guide

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Disease free. Can be affected by aphids - if this becomes a problem, spray with a mix of water, soap and vegetable oil or remove the aphids by hand. 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 full sun but will be fine with some partial shade

Any moist soil

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
