{"product_id":"calla-palustris-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Calla palustris Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rambling marginal plant suited to pond edges and planting shelves, it offers heart-shaped foliage that spreads out to cover bare ground at the water's edge. Its flowers give way to bright red seed heads later in the season, keeping visual interest going once the main flowering period ends. Unusually, the scent of its flowers attracts pollinating snails, a trait few other pond plants share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalla palustris is a marginal pond plant with an unusual pollination quirk: it's one of the few plants drawn to by snails rather than insects, thanks to the scent of its flowers. It has a rambling growth habit, creeping outward from its original planting point rather than staying as a tidy clump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits pond margins and planting shelves where you want cover that fills in gradually. The heart-shaped leaves help establish ground cover at the water's edge, and the flowers are followed by bright red seed heads that keep colour going later in the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive one established plant per basket: the 1 litre option comes in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket, and the 3 litre option comes in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket. Both can be placed straight into the pond without removing the basket or repotting first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing shoots can be trimmed back in summer and pushed into the soil to start new plants, which also encourages bushier growth. It's harmful if eaten and can irritate skin and eyes, so handle it with care.\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 to Aug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\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\u003eCreeps from its original planting point; growing shoots can be cut in summer and pushed into the soil to propagate and encourage branching.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarmful\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarmful if eaten; skin and eye irritant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 litre: one plant in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket. 3 litre: one plant in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15-25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"1 litre","offer_id":57640117797237,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 litre","offer_id":57640117830005,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/calla-palustris-marginal-pond-plant.jpg?v=1791582305","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/calla-palustris-marginal-pond-plant","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
