Eriophorum Angustifolium | 9cm Pot

A semi-evergreen pond plant aquatic cotton grass with fluffy spikelet flowers. Position: full sun Soil type: reliably moist or boggy soils, or aquatic compost Depth of water: 0-5cm Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: fully hardy Slender, grass-like leaves, each with a sharp-pointed tip, forms a spreading clump, which in summer is topped with fluffy-looking, pendent spikelets. An attractive, moisture-loving perennial, it will often retain most of its leaves throughout the winter, so has year-round appeal. Garden care: While wearing protective gloves, gently ‘comb’ through the foliage with your fingers to remove the older foliage. Divide congested clumps in spring. If growing as a shallow water, marginal plant, pot up into an aquatic pot or basket using a good quality aquatic compost.
