Guía de cuidados

Plant in shallow water 5 to 30 centimetres deep in a pond basket with heavy clay soil. Choose a sunny position. The plant gradually spreads via rhizomes. Remove dead above-ground parts in autumn. Hardy to zone 3 provided the rhizome overwinters below the water surface.

Consejos de poda

Cut back dead flower stems and leaves in autumn. Thin the plant if it spreads too aggressively by removing sections of rhizome. Divide overcrowded clumps in spring.
