{"product_id":"lythrum-salicaria-pond-marginal-plant","title":"Lythrum salicaria Pond Marginal Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrown for its tall pink flower spikes that keep colour going at the pond edge right through summer, this native marginal suits medium to large ponds and lakes where height and presence matter. It gives pond keepers weeks of colour visible from across the water and asks for very little looking after once settled in. It's offered in a few sizes, from single potted plants to a pack of three young plants for group planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLythrum salicaria is a native marginal pond plant, grown for upright pink flower spikes that keep blooming for weeks across summer and stand tall enough to be seen from across a medium to large pond or lake. It helps bring season-long colour to the pond margins without demanding a lot of care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a good fit for pond keepers after height and visual interest at the water's edge, particularly where a native planting choice matters. Once it's settled in, it keeps flowering through the summer months with only occasional tidying needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get depends on the size you pick. The 1 litre and 3 litre options are each a single plant, already potted into a mesh aquatic basket, ready to go straight into the pond. The 9cm pot option is a pack of three young plants, each in its own pot, suited to planting out as a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a native species, it suits planting schemes built around native wildlife value. Because it needs very little looking after, it's a reasonable option for pond keepers who'd rather not spend much time on upkeep.\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJuly to September\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeeds little upkeep: trim for tidiness, but allow the foliage to die back naturally over winter so flower buds can form for the following year.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative species\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 litre size: one plant in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket. 3 litre size: one plant in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket. 9cm pot, pack of 3: three individual plants, each in a 9cm pot.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120-180 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-5 cm (maximum recommended depth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"1 litre \/ Single","offer_id":57643688362357,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 litre \/ Single","offer_id":57643688395125,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9cm pot \/ Pack of 3","offer_id":57643688427893,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/lythrum-salicaria-pond-marginal-plant.jpg?v=1791709553","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/lythrum-salicaria-pond-marginal-plant","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
