{"product_id":"acorus-calamus-variegatus-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Acorus calamus Variegatus Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou get an established marginal plant, supplied potted in its mesh aquatic basket and ready to place straight into the pond margin or shelf. The green and cream striped foliage gives a lighter, more decorative look than the plain species, and its low care needs keep upkeep to little more than an annual trim. Suited to full sun or part shade positions, it offers a practical way to add contrast along a pond edge without much ongoing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcorus calamus variegatus is a marginal pond plant with upright, grass-like leaves striped in green and cream, setting it apart from the plain green form of the species. The citrus-scented foliage has also been used in fragrances and traditional herbal preparations. It offers a low-maintenance option for pond margins and shelves, suited to full sun or part shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits anyone wanting to add structure and colour contrast along a pond edge or shelf without heavy upkeep. You get one plant, supplied already potted in a mesh aquatic basket matching your chosen size (1 litre or 3 litre), so it goes straight into the water without repotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstablished plants need little attention through the season. Once the foliage dies back in autumn, trim it back just above the water surface, leaving a little material in place to protect the new shoots below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two basket sizes suit different stages of planting, from a smaller pocket on a shelf to a larger root run from the outset.
