This native marginal suits pond keepers who want a taller, structural plant for the water's edge without a lot of upkeep. It gives height and shape to planting schemes while needing very little attention once settled in. You'll receive one 1 litre potted plant, ready to go straight into your pond basket.
Sagittaria sagittifolia is a UK native marginal pond plant, grown for its upright arrow-shaped leaves and summer flowers with strongly contrasting centres, giving it more presence at the water's edge than many low, mat-forming marginals.
It suits pond keepers wanting to plant with native species, whether for a wildlife-friendly scheme or simply to vary the height around the margins. Once settled in, it needs very little attention, which helps keep ongoing maintenance to a minimum.
You receive one 1 litre potted plant, already growing in its mesh basket, ready to go straight onto a planting shelf or shallow margin. No repotting is needed before planting, though a larger basket can be used if you'd prefer more root room from the start.
