Cyperus papyrus percamenthus (Marginal Aquatic)

Grow in the shallow margins of a pond at a depth of 0-15cm in sun or light shade. This tender perennial is not winter hardy so remove the plant from the pond and overwinter in a greenhouse, cold frame or sheltered, frost free place.

Planting instructions: Empty the soil mix into the aquatic planting basket, and plant the bareroots so that the growing point sits just below the soil surface. Cover the surface of the soil with the gravel to hold the compost in place. It is recommended that the planting basket is gently submerged in a bucket of water to allow the compost to become completely soaked through. This will allow any loose compost to float to the surface before you position it in your pond.
