Care essentials
Light
Grows in full sun to part shade; in NE Florida's intense summer heat, afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch when plants are not in standing water. Full sun is fine at pond margins where roots stay submerged.
Water
A true aquatic-edge perennial that thrives in saturated soils or shallow standing water (up to a few inches deep). Plant at pond margins, rain garden low points, or in submerged containers in water features.
Soil & Fertilizer
Tolerates sandy, loamy, or mucky soils as long as they stay consistently wet to saturated. No supplemental fertilizer is needed in nutrient-rich wet sites; light slow-release fertilizer can be used in contained water garden setups.
