Anglo Aquatics Acorus Calamus 1 Litre 3 Pack

This Anglo Aquatics Acorus Calamus is a Marginal plant and is ideal for placing in shallow edges or on shallow planting shelves.

Marginal plants are perfect for the borders of your pond where the water is most shallow, or perhaps on a planting shelf. They are able to tolerate waterlogged soil but should be planted no deeper than four inches below the water level. These hardy aquatic plants can be grown outside of the water also, as long as their soil is kept consistently moist.

Benefits: Dark green iris-like foliage with a small green horn-shaped bloom. It grows from a rhizome which runs across the ground out of which the leaves rise up. It has been used in fragrances and medicinal cures since Egyptian times.
