{"product_id":"mentha-pulegium-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Mentha pulegium Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA native, low-growing marginal plant that keeps pond edges covered with dense, minty-scented foliage and small flowers lasting into autumn. Choose a single 1 litre plant or a pack of three 9cm pot plants, depending on how much of the margin you want to cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMentha pulegium is a creeping marginal plant from the mint family, forming a low mat of small, scented leaves rather than growing upright like many pond-edge plants. It keeps the shallow margin filled with spreading foliage, staying short enough to avoid overshadowing taller marginals planted nearby. As a native UK species, it suits naturalistic or wildlife-leaning planting schemes around the pond edge. You get either a single plant supplied in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket, or three plants each supplied in their own 9cm pot, depending on which option you choose. If you pick the pack of three, bear in mind the pots don't come with a mesh basket, though potting into one is part of the recommended planting method. What sets this plant apart from many other marginals is its creeping, ground-covering habit combined with the mint-family scent that comes through when the foliage is handled or trimmed.\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\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-30 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJul to Oct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade\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\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 litre: one plant in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket; 9cm pot, pack of 3: three plants each in a 9cm pot.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis plant can be trimmed as required at any time during the growing season.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"Single \/ 1 litre","offer_id":57643845910901,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pack of 3 \/ 9cm pot","offer_id":57643845943669,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/mentha-pulegium-marginal-pond-plant.jpg?v=1791727505","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/mentha-pulegium-marginal-pond-plant","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
