Aquatic and marginal plants should be placed in pond plant baskets filled with aquatic soil (sold separately) and topped with a thin layer of gravel to help prevent the soil from washing away. As this plant can be invasive, a basket is even more important, as it prevents the plant from spreading. This plant is suitable for zones 1 and 2 of a pond. Caring and Maintenance: This is a hardy, very low maintenance plant that needs no special attention. Just be sure to maintain the conditions described in the planting section. Marginal and pondside plants add interest, colour and structure to ponds. The plants can be positioned around the perimeter of a pond or on levelled shelves for original and attractive exposure. Marginal plants should be planted in boggy ground or shallow water for optimal growth results.
