Care essentials
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.
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.
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.
