Plant Description:

This is a clumping grass like plant that grows to 30 cms tall. The green leaves are pretty and are held upright. They are narrow and long. The plant is dimunative and can also be planted in aquariums and water lily ponds.

Growing tips:

Plant in clayey soils in shallow water. This is a typical bog marsh plant. Grows best in pots without holes or in water logged pool margins. Prefers heavy loams to clay soils. Thinning of clumps can be done once a year to keep growth in check as the plant can get invasive and overrun more delicate neighbours. Plant the rhizomes in March to June. Plants do not like very cold weather. Clumps can be divided each spring.
