This adaptable perennial loves moist soils, so it can either be grown along the edges of a pond or in a bog garden. Spreading by creeping rhizomes to form a low clump of attractive leafy cover, it comes into its own in early summer when the sprays of small, bright blue flowers appear.
Plant 9cm pots directly into consistently moist soil, or submerge the aquatic planting basket option in shallow water (about 2-5cm or 1-2in). Keep the soil or water level evenly moist, especially during dry periods. In spring, divide any overcrowded or large clumps to maintain healthy growth and encourage fresh flowering.
- CAUTION toxic if eaten/skin & eye irritant
