Frequently Asked Questions
Does this come with a planting basket?
Does this come with a planting basket?
No. Each plant is supplied in a 9cm pot and needs potting into a mesh planting basket before it goes into the water; baskets are sold separately.
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
The recommended planting depth is 0-5cm. When you first plant it, keep the basket shallower than this, around a third of the depth, to help it establish, then lower it to the fuller depth once it's settled in.
Will it still grow well if I buy it out of season?
Will it still grow well if I buy it out of season?
It may be supplied cut back if bought outside the main growing season, but it should still establish normally once planted.
Is this a native plant?
Is this a native plant?
Yes, Hypericum elodes is a UK native species, which makes it suited to naturalistic or wildlife-friendly pond planting.
Hypericum elodes is a UK native marginal plant suited to the shallow edges of ponds and streams, bringing hairy, grey-green foliage with a glaucous, silvery-toned look to the waterside. It helps soften bare pond margins with low, naturalistic planting and adds small yellow flowers for extra colour at the water's edge. Each pack gives you a ready set of plants to establish a group planting along one stretch of margin.
Hypericum elodes is a UK native marginal plant for pond and stream edges, known for its hairy, grey-green foliage that gives the whole plant a glaucous, silvery-toned appearance. It suits the margins of ponds and streams, where its naturalistic habit helps fill out planting at the water's edge without looking too formal. You receive three plants, each supplied in a 9cm pot; a mesh planting basket isn't included, so you'll need to buy one separately to plant them into the pond. For the best start, set the basket shallower than the full recommended planting depth at first, then lower it once the roots have taken hold.
