{"product_id":"rumex-sanguineus-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Rumex sanguineus Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA marginal pond plant valued for its colour-veined foliage, giving pond-edge plantings a contrast point that holds up well once the flower spike is removed. It suits naturalistic and native planting schemes and is available as a single potted plant or a pack of three young plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRumex sanguineus is a pond marginal plant kept chiefly for its leaves rather than its flowers: green rosettes patterned with bright red veins that stand out at the water's edge. Most growers pinch out the flower spike as it forms, since letting it bloom fades the leaf colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a native UK marginal, it suits wildlife-friendly and naturalistic pond planting. Growing it in a mesh basket at the pond edge helps it establish without disturbing nearby planting, and keeps the roots contained as the display matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get either one already-potted plant in a 1 litre basket, ready to place straight into the pond, or three smaller plants each in a 9cm pot, which need potting into a mesh basket of their own before planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart from plainer marginals is that its display comes from the leaf veining rather than the flowers, so a little seasonal tidying keeps it looking its best rather than leaving it to bloom unchecked.\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\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-70 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\u003eJun to Aug\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\u003e0-15 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\u003eRemove dock type flower spike to retain leaf colour.
