Acorus calamus - calamus for pond edges & shallow water
Acorus calamus is a robust pond edge plant with a grass-like growth habit that naturally structures the shoreline. At 60-80 cm tall, it is ideal as a background plant for the shallow water and swamp zone. It can be planted at a depth of 0 to -40 cm and is hardy in zones 2-3.
- Area of use: Pond edge / bank zone / shallow water zone
- Height: approx. 60-80 cm
- Planting depth: 0 to -40 cm
- Winter hardiness/zone: Zone 2-3
Plant specifications:
- They give the edge of the pond a calm, natural structure and create a clean transition between the water and the garden.
- Thanks to the planting depth of 0 to -40 cm, calamus can be used flexibly from the wet edge to the shallow water area.
- At zone 2-3, the plant is suitable for perennial pond systems and remains easy to care for.
Technical data:
- Botanical name: Acorus calamus
- German name: Kalmus
- Height (cm): 60 / 80 cm
- Planting depth: 0 / -40 cm
- Winter zone hardiness: Zone 2 / 3
- Pot size: approx. 18 cm
With a growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Acorus calamus fits particularly well in the middle to background of the bank planting. It can be perfectly combined with lower ground cover and shallow water plants, which soften the edge at the front, while the calamus provides height and structure behind it. This creates a balanced overall picture that looks natural and visually "frames" the pond without hiding the water surface. A major advantage is the flexible planting depth of 0 to -40 cm. This allows you to plant Acorus calamus in moist bank soil as well as in shallow water - depending on the structure of your pond.
For many pond owners, a plant basket is a practical solution because the plant is stable and can be moved more easily if necessary. In landscaped ponds in particular, this helps to keep the edge zone neat and tidy. Due to its stated winter hardiness (zone 2-3), calamus is suitable for perennial pond installations in many regions. This makes it a good choice if you are looking for a long-lasting, low-maintenance structural plant that reliably complements the pond edge and blends in well with different planting concepts - from natural to modern.
Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by the post or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.
Zoo Roco tip: Place Acorus calamus in the shallow water zone so that the stems "frame" the edge slightly, but the view into the water remains clear. If you want to keep the growth under control, place the calamus in a plant basket and place it at a depth of 0 to -40 cm - this will keep the shoreline clean and adaptable at all times.
