This perennial wonder unfolds in early spring, showcasing fragrant, pure white flowers reminiscent of arums. As the season progresses, broad veined and oval leaves, reaching a striking 90cm (3ft), unfurl with glossy green grandeur and offering a refreshing departure from the usual slender pond foliage. While slow to establish and grow, Lysichiton camtschatcensis can become invasive over time so requires environmental awareness if there are watercourses connected to the planting location.


  • Garden care:
    Plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond at a depth of 0-30cm (0-12").
    • Harmful if eaten/skin & eye irritant
