Description
Oenanthe fistulosa ‘Flamingo’ is a striking marginal pond plant known for its attractive variegated foliage, featuring shades of soft pink, cream, and green. The colourful leaves create a bright focal point around pond edges and water features, adding interest throughout the growing season.
In summer, delicate small white flower clusters appear above the foliage, adding further texture and natural charm to the planting. This variety grows well in shallow water or consistently damp soil, making it ideal for planting in pond margins, bog gardens, or along streams.
Oenanthe ‘Flamingo’ has a gently spreading habit and works particularly well when planted in aquatic baskets to keep growth controlled while still providing vibrant colour around the pond.
