(8-9 sun)   2m x unlimited spread

Supplied in multiples of 10 (in effect 99p each) and ready for immediate planting or potting into 2 litre pots to produce larger plants. IF YOU REQUIRE LARGE QUANTITIES OF 1,000 OR MORE PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A WHOLESALE QUOTE SUPPLIED DIRECT TO YOU IN THEIR TRAYS. Approximately 60cm in height and grown in root trainers these are substantial plants and can be supplied all year round. They can be planted into soil or gravel. Full planting instructions are supplied with every order.

For sewage water filtration they should be planted at the rate of 10 plants per square metre. This will give the best immediate effect; planting at less that 8 per square metre does not provide sufficient filtration and will not remove toxins, heavy metals and pollutants. For pond, lake or sewage water filtration after a bio-digester 8 plants per square metre is usually sufficient.
Please remember when calculating that each unit ordered is 10 plugs!

Makes dense colonies from creeping rootstocks and is bamboo-like in appearance. Stems to 8ft with soft feathery flower heads which start purplish and age to grey. Tolerant of up to 90 cm (3ft) water depth, double this if not flowing. Used for thatching, shelter, mats and quill pens!

Customer Comments!

The site you have is easy to navigate. From browsing your catalogue, with descriptions and pictures, to the order process, acknowledgement of orders and timing of despatch and ultimately the delivery; its a seamless service. The best bit though is the unpacking and here again, the plants are always healthy and in good condition, expertly packaged and come with planting instructions. The hard bit is the planting!
