{"product_id":"acorus-calamus-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Acorus calamus Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA low-maintenance marginal pond plant, supplied already potted in its mesh aquatic basket, that gives upright green structure to a pond edge without much upkeep. Suited to full sun or part shade, it helps bring naturalised planting to the margin or shelf with very little ongoing attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcorus calamus is an upright marginal pond plant with iris-like green foliage, topped in early summer by a small, horn-shaped green bloom, and grown from a rhizome that spreads across the ground as the leaves rise up from it. It's one of the few pond marginals with a long history of use in fragrances and traditional remedies, dating back to Egyptian times. Suited to pond margins in full sun or part shade, it helps add vertical structure and ground cover around the water's edge while asking very little of you in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get one plant, already potted in a mesh aquatic basket sized to whichever option you choose, ready to go straight onto the pond shelf or margin. There's no need to remove the basket before planting, and no repotting is needed when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the foliage dies back in autumn, trim it back close to the water's surface, leaving a little material in place to protect the new shoots that come through the following year. Left alone it spreads at a steady, medium pace rather than taking over a planting pocket quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJun \u0026amp; Jul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLittle maintenance is required.
