Pond Plant - Nymphoides peltata (Floating Heart) 1L
- Flower Colour – Yellow
- Flower period – June to August
- Depth – 10cm to 90 cm
- Planted in 1L (11cm) pot
Floating heart has masses of small round leaves and pretty yellow flowers. A deep water plant that grows up from the deeper part of the pond and grows into a floating mat. This provides shade for the pond and cover for water creatures. Trim back as necessary to restrict growth.
Deep water plants prefer a similar environment to waterlilies, however, they tend to be less problematical than waterlilies. Some of the varieties will tolerate moving water as well as shade.
Care Instructions
You will receive a hardy British-grown rooted deep water plant in an 11cm pot. We recommend you re-pot the plant using premium aquatic soil and a slow-release fertiliser tab. However, you can leave in original pot for 1 year.
Submerge the plant at a shallower depth for 3-4 weeks, then place at required depth.
After Care
These plants like to be divided and re-potted every 2 years to encourage flowers. Once established feed once a year the encourage flowers.
Please note that these species are suitable for ornamental or wildlife pond use and are non-invasive. Excess growth of any species used in a garden setting should be disposed of responsibly and never introduced to wild habitats.
The condition of your plant may vary by order date and from what you see in your local store. We aim to give you the largest and most luscious plant possible but this is dependant on the time of year and seasonal variation.
