Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the two buying options?
What's the difference between the two buying options?
The single option is one plant already growing in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket, ready for the pond shelf. The pack of three gives you three separate plants, each in its own 9cm pot, which will need potting into a mesh basket (not included) before planting.
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
Start new plants no deeper than a third of the maximum recommended planting depth so they can establish, then move them down to their full depth as they grow.
Do I need to cut it back?
Do I need to cut it back?
Yes, cut the foliage back before spring growth starts. The seed heads can be left over winter if you like them, but it's best to remove them if they fall into the water.
Does it need full sun?
Does it need full sun?

This smaller-growing typha suits medium and large ponds, giving the margin height and structure without taking over the space the way bigger varieties can. It offers seed heads in a distinctive milk chocolate shade that develop through the season, and is available as a single basket-grown plant or a pack of three potted plants.
Typha gracilis is a smaller typha, which makes it well suited to medium and large ponds. It gives the planting scheme height and structure, with seed heads in a distinctive milk chocolate shade that develop through the growing season. What you receive depends on the option you choose: the single plant arrives already growing in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket, ready to place straight onto the pond shelf, while the pack of three is supplied as three separate plants, each in its own 9cm pot. This typha grows quickly once planted, so it fills its spot in the margin sooner than slower growing varieties.
