What's the difference between this and standard Mazus reptans?
This is the white-flowered form of Mazus reptans; flower colour is the stated difference from the species.
Which size should I choose?
Which size should I choose?
The 1 litre and 3 litre sizes come ready-potted in mesh aquatic baskets, so they're easiest to place straight into the pond. The 9cm pot pack of three gives you three plants to pot yourself, which suits anyone planting multiple spots or already using their own baskets.
Does it need a mesh basket?
Does it need a mesh basket?
The 1 litre and 3 litre sizes are already in mesh aquatic baskets. The 9cm pot pack of three isn't, so you'll need to pot these into a mesh basket yourself before placing them in the pond.
How much care does it need?
How much care does it need?
Very little. The plant grows slowly and only needs its foliage trimmed when you want to tidy it up.
When does it flower?
When does it flower?
It flowers from May to August, with white blooms along the pond margin.
Mazus reptans 'alba' gives pond keepers a low-growing marginal plant that flowers white from spring into summer, needing little more than an occasional trim to keep it tidy. It suits sunny or lightly shaded spots around the pond edge and is supplied ready-potted or as young plants for your own basket, depending on the size you choose.
Mazus reptans 'alba' is the white-flowered form of Mazus reptans, grown as a low marginal plant for pond edges and shelves. It gives pond keepers white flowers through late spring and summer in a plant suited to sunny or partially shaded spots at the water's edge.
Growth is slow, so it holds its position without needing frequent cutting back, and the only ongoing care is trimming the foliage when you want to tidy it up.
You get one ready-potted plant in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket, one in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket, or three plants supplied as 9cm pots in a pack of three, depending on the size you choose. The 9cm pots will need potting into a mesh basket of your own before they go into the pond.
Because it stays low-growing, it works well as shallow ground cover at the pond margin rather than for deeper planting positions.
