Does it need repotting when it arrives?

When does it flower, and what colour are the flowers?
It flowers in August and September, with small white blooms and a yellow centre.
What care does it need after flowering?
What care does it need after flowering?

How deep can this plant be grown?
How deep can this plant be grown?
The specification lists a planting depth of 1 to 40cm. Start it shallower rather than deeper, no more than half the recommended maximum depth, to help it establish before moving it.
An established marginal pond plant supplied in a 1 litre pot, suited to bright pond margins where small white summer flowers are wanted. It helps add natural ground cover at the water's edge and changes leaf shape depending on how deep it's planted.
Luronium natans is a less usual marginal pond plant whose leaves change shape with depth: rounded leaves float on the surface in shallow water, while narrower, longer leaves form once the plant is grown deeper. It helps bring naturalistic flowering interest to a pond margin, with small white blooms carrying a yellow centre appearing through summer. It suits sunny pond margins and is supplied as an established plant in a 1 litre mesh basket pot, ready to position directly in the margin. The mesh basket doesn't need removing, and plants of this size won't need repotting straight away. As a native plant, it's suited to wildlife or naturalistic pond planting schemes, and its changing leaf form between shallow and deep water is what sets it apart from many single-form marginals.
