Suited to ponds where extra surface shade is wanted without a rooted or potted plant to maintain. In a good summer it also produces nuts that sink and can grow into new plants the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrapa natans is a floating pond plant that drifts across the water's surface rather than rooting into the pond bed, so there's no basket or substrate to deal with. This makes it well suited to garden ponds where extra surface shade is wanted, since the leaf cover helps reduce the light reaching the water and keep algae growth down. You get a pack of five plants, ready to place straight onto the pond with their roots trailing in the water. Through late summer it flowers, then produces nuts that sink to the pond floor in autumn; in a warm enough summer these can survive over winter and grow into new plants the following season.\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\u003eAugust and September\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\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\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllow to die back naturally.
