Reed-Mace - Aquatic Plant - Plant

The aquatic plant, Reed-Mace, is best used in a pond basket. Cover the basket with jute and fill the pond with special soil. Plant Reed-Mace in the basket and fill with soil. Cover everything with the remaining jute and sprinkle with a layer of gravel. Place the basket just below the surface or up to 10-30 cm deep in the pond. If your pond is not too shallow, you can place your basket within a pile of stones. This plant can also grow in a large tub with water. Place this plant in complete sunshine. The best time to plant is between May and June.

Reed-Mace is an elegant narrow-leaved aquatic plant that will give your pond a very natural look. It combines perfectly with the flowering rush (Butomus Umbellatus) and yellow iris (Pseudacorus) along the edge of a natural pond. These riparian plants will definitely attract several insects.

Reed-Mace's flowers are great for drying and are therefore very popular for dried arrangements. Its long, narrow leaves resemble reeds.

Reed-Mace is an easy-growing pond plant that requires minimal maintenance. Cut off its dead leaves in autumn and remove them from the pond. If the clump grows too large, you should take Reed-Mace out of the pond in May, divide the clump into smaller pieces and plant only one piece back inside the pond.
