{"product_id":"carex-pendula-pendulous-sedge-native-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Carex pendula (Pendulous Sedge) - Native Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA weeping native sedge for pond margins, Carex pendula helps soften hard edging with its mound of trailing foliage and suits streamside or wildlife-style planting schemes. It needs little regular care once settled in, just a single tidy-up trim each autumn. Available as a single potted plant in two sizes or as a pack of three young plants for covering more of the margin at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarex pendula, commonly called pendulous sedge, is a native British marginal plant whose leaves arch upward before falling into a loose, weeping mound, a softer silhouette than most upright pond grasses. This trailing habit helps break up hard pond edging and gives the margin a more natural, streamside feel. It suits informal ponds, bog gardens and wildlife-style planting where a relaxed native shape works better than a clipped, formal one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCome midsummer it sends up slender flower spikes above the foliage, a subtle detail among the mounded leaves rather than a showy bloom. Once established, it fills out a planting gap within a season, so a single plant doesn't take long to look settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get a ready-grown plant, already in the pot or basket the size description specifies, not bare roots or seed. Options range from a single plant in a mesh basket through to a pack of three smaller potted plants, so you can choose between fewer, more established specimens or more plants to cover a longer stretch of margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOngoing care stays minimal once it's established in the margin; see the care guidance below for the one seasonal job it does need.\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\u003eJuly and August\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLittle maintenance required; trim back to just above the water surface once foliage has died down in autumn.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative (UK native plant)\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. 9cm pot (pack of 3): three plants, each in a 9cm pot.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40-60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"1 litre \/ Single","offer_id":57641761636725,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 litre \/ Single","offer_id":57641761669493,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9cm pot \/ Pack of 3","offer_id":57641761702261,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/carex-pendula-pendulous-sedge-native-marginal-pond-plant.jpg?v=1791618215","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/carex-pendula-pendulous-sedge-native-marginal-pond-plant","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
