When grown in aquatic compost, it acts as a hardy marginal plant that bridges the gap between the water's edge and the surrounding garden. It produces stunning mounds of fern-like, dark green foliage that remain attractive from Spring through to the end of the year. In early Summer, airy plumes of creamy-white flowers rise on slender stems, providing a light and graceful display that lasts until late Summer. Because it is highly adaptable, it is perfect for bog gardens or the shallowest shelves of a pond where the soil remains consistently wet. It is a fantastic nectar source for pollinators and is a tough, reliable performer that handles exposed and breezy Irish garden sites with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eFull sun to light shade, along pond edges or shallow margins; keep the crown above the water line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrowth rate: \u003c\/b\u003eFast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring, Summer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: Fully \u003c\/b\u003eHardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize: \u003c\/b\u003eHeight: 1.5-2ft (40-60cm) \u003cstrong\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1.5ft (30-45)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAquatic pot and compost variations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquatic plants come in a variety of pot and compost variations that have different benefits for planting and growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMesh Pot | (Aquatic Compost)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePot can be removed and plant can be planted directly into soil or margins \u003cstrong\u003eabove or below the water line\u003c\/strong\u003e.
