Persicaria amphibia (Deep water aquatic or bog garden)

Persicaria amphibia is a charming UK native pond plant that not only enhances the wildlife value of your pond but also offers a delightful display of pink flowers. Its slender, pointed leaves float gracefully on the surface, providing both shelter and shade for aquatic life while helping to reduce algae growth. From mid-summer to early autumn, this plant produces an abundance of pink, bottle-brush flowers that rise above the water, attracting bees with their sweet nectar. nMaximum height: 50cm (20in). Spread: 1m (39in). Water depth: 15cm to 90cm, or plant in boggy soil.
