Aponogeton distachyos is a deep water pond plant that keeps flowering for most of the year rather than stopping after a few weeks, with blooms appearing from spring right through to early winter in two separate flushes. It grows well in full sun or part shade, making it flexible for different spots around the pond, and settles in at a medium pace once planted. You receive one plant already established in a mesh aquatic basket matched to the size you order, so it can be lowered straight into the pond without repotting first. The foliage naturally dies back for a short spell in August as part of its growth cycle, and any leaves marked during delivery can be trimmed off, with fresh growth following soon after. Given some protection from frost, it can keep flowering on into winter.
