{"product_id":"pilularia-globulifera-pillwort-native-pond-fern","title":"Pilularia Globulifera (Pillwort) - Native Pond Fern","description":"\u003cp\u003eA native UK fern suited to pond margins, shallow water and damp ground, available as one ready-potted plant or a multi-pack for wider coverage. Its slow-growing, hair-like foliage keeps maintenance light and adds natural-looking ground cover without flowers to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePilularia globulifera, known as pillwort, is a UK native fern whose curled, hair-like leaves set it apart from the broader-leaved marginals most pond ranges stock, and it grows just as happily fully submerged as it does in damp ground at the water's edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits shallow pond margins, boggy borders and damp ground generally, helping bring low native ground cover to spots where taller flowering marginals would look out of scale. Its growth rate is slow, so established plants need little day-to-day attention once they've settled in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy it as a single plant already potted in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket, ready to lower straight into the pond, or as a pack of three plants each supplied in a 9cm pot if you want to plant up a wider area in one go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it produces no flowers, the plant's appeal sits entirely in its fern-like, slightly contorted foliage, a different look from the colourful flowering marginals usually planted at pond edges.\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 to part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLittle maintenance is required.\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\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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-30 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"1 litre \/ Single","offer_id":57646277034357,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"9cm pot \/ Pack of 3","offer_id":57646277067125,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/pilularia-globulifera-pillwort-native-pond-fern.jpg?v=1791809175","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/pilularia-globulifera-pillwort-native-pond-fern","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
