Planting

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Grow in shallow water at the margins of a pool in full sun. Recommended water depth over the crown of the plant: 10 - 30cm (4" - 12") NOTE: This plant is listed on Schedule 9 of The Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order (1985) as amended, and on Schedule 3 of the EU (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 in the Republic of Ireland as an invasive non-native species. This does not prevent it from being sold or being grown in gardens in Ireland, but those that do grow it should take care with disposing of unwanted material. Finding alternative plants to grow to those listed is recommended.
