Frequently Asked Questions
Does the plant need repotting when it arrives?
Does the plant need repotting when it arrives?
The 1 litre plant comes already in its mesh basket and doesn't need repotting, though a larger basket helps it establish. The 9cm pot plants need potting into a mesh basket before you plant them out.
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
The maximum planting depth is shown in the specifications. Start the 9cm pot plants no deeper than a third of that depth and the 1 litre plant no deeper than half, then let them establish before moving them deeper if needed.
How much care does it need once planted?
How much care does it need once planted?
Little ongoing care is needed; trimming back any excess growth is normally all that's required.

What's the difference between the two size options?
What's the difference between the two size options?
The 1 litre option is a single plant in its own basket. The 9cm pot option is a pack of three smaller plants, each in a 9cm pot, suited to planting together for a fuller display.
A native marginal pond plant whose upright, bottle-brush stems give pond margins and bog gardens a vertical accent among lower, spreading planting. It establishes gradually and needs little upkeep once settled in, beyond trimming back excess growth from time to time. Choose a single 1 litre potted plant or a pack of three smaller 9cm pot plants for grouping along the margin.
Hippuris vulgaris is a native marginal pond plant valued for its upright, bottle-brush stems that rise straight out of the water rather than spreading across the surface like many marginals. It suits pond margins and bog gardens where a vertical line is wanted among rounder, lower-growing plants. Grown at the pond edge, it gives the planting scheme structure and keeps maintenance light once established.
The 1 litre option gives you one plant already potted in its own mesh aquatic basket, ready to place straight into the margin. The 9cm pot option is sold as a pack of three plants, each in its own 9cm pot, suited to grouping together for a fuller display.
As a slow-growing plant, it won't quickly outgrow its space, and ongoing care is limited to trimming back any excess growth as it appears.
