Large round leaves provide an interesting coarse texture that is a must for your pond. Fragrant flowers from July thru early September. These winter-hardy plants add a dramatic effect to the pond. They can also be used outside the pond in their own container or on a patio or deck. Plants for above ground use must be protected for the winter. Insulate the pots by surrounding with mulch. A patio pond de-icer can also help ensure survival during the winter. (Click the on Seasonal Care Link on the main page). If the pot is submerged in the pond, no additional steps are needed to protect the roots. Fertilize regularly for full growth potential. INVASIVE IN SOIL PONDS.
