Description
Alisma Plantago is a classic native marginal pond plant, valued for its elegant, upright growth and delicate sprays of soft pink-white flowers that appear throughout the summer. Often found growing naturally around lakes and slow-moving waterways, it brings a very natural, wild look to any garden pond.
Its broad, lance-shaped green leaves emerge from the base and create a strong vertical feature at the pond edge, while the airy flower stems rise above, attracting pollinators such as bees and other beneficial insects.
Ideal for planting in shallow margins or planting baskets, Alisma Plantago is easy to grow and low maintenance, making it perfect for both wildlife ponds and more formal water features.
