{"product_id":"pontederia-cordata-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Pontederia cordata Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003ePontederia cordata is a tall marginal plant suited to pond keepers planting the back of a margin, where its spikes of blue flowers stand above heart-shaped foliage. It slowly builds into a fuller clump over the seasons, which gives lasting structure and colour without heavy maintenance. It's supplied as a single plant in a mesh aquatic basket, ready to position on the marginal shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePontederia cordata is a tall, late-flowering marginal pond plant that carries spikes of blue flowers above heart-shaped foliage, and it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. It provides height and structure at the back of a pond planting scheme, and its slow spread into a larger clump keeps colour going in the margin as the planting matures. The RHS recognition and its late-season habit are what set it apart as a structural choice for a pond margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits pond keepers building a marginal planting scheme who want extra height and later-season colour toward the back of a display. It won't quickly outgrow its space, so it stays manageable while it fills out into a larger clump over a few seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get a single plant in a mesh aquatic basket, supplied as 1 litre or 3 litre depending on the size you choose. There's no need to remove the basket before planting, whichever size you pick.\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\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70-90 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowering period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJuly to September\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight requirements\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\u003e5-20 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. 3 litre: one plant in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLittle maintenance is required.
