{"product_id":"cyperus-longus-native-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Cyperus longus Native Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne established Cyperus longus plant arrives ready-grown in its own mesh aquatic basket, either 1 litre or 3 litre, so it can go straight into the pond without needing to be repotted. It gives large ponds and lakes useful cover for wildlife, with arching, grass-like foliage that needs little upkeep beyond a single autumn trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCyperus longus is a native UK marginal pond plant, supplied already rooted in its own mesh aquatic basket so it can go straight into the water without repotting first. Large ponds and lakes benefit most, since its fast-growing clumps help provide wildlife with cover among the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plant arrives as a single potted specimen: the 1 litre option comes in a 1 litre mesh basket and the 3 litre option in a 3 litre mesh basket, both ready to position once you bring them home. The basket stays on the plant in either size, it's only there to help you place and anchor it in the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1 litre plants do best with a little extra room as they grow, though you won't need to remove the mesh, while the 3 litre plants are already sized to go straight onto the pond shelf at your chosen depth. Because it's a fast grower, keep an eye on height: once stems pass around 60cm it's worth moving the plant into a bigger basket or planting it in gravel so it doesn't lean over in the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOngoing care is minimal. Once the foliage has died back in autumn, trim it back to just above the water surface to keep the clump tidy.\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\u003eFlowering season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAugust to October\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower colour\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 needed; trim back to just above the water surface once foliage has died back in autumn to tidy.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative status\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative\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\u003e60-120 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAug to Oct\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\u003eNative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"1 litre","offer_id":57641772777845,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 litre","offer_id":57641772810613,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/cyperus-longus-native-marginal-pond-plant.jpg?v=1791619348","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/cyperus-longus-native-marginal-pond-plant","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
