With Glyceria maxima 'Variegata', you are choosing a pond edge grass that impresses above all with its decorative foliage effect. Plants that are not only attractive during short flowering phases but also provide structure throughout the season are particularly popular around garden ponds. The variegated foliage brings brightness to the bank zone and ensures that the edge of the pond looks neat and clearly organised - ideal as a calm frame for flowering bank plants.
With a growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm , variegated water grass is suitable for the middle to background of pond edge planting. It visually builds up the shoreline without completely "closing" the pond. It looks particularly attractive when planted in small groups or as a recurring element along the edge. This creates a natural rhythm that harmonises the pond.
The flowering period from June to August (VI-VIII) complements the season; however, the focus is usually on the structural and foliage effect. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes Glyceria maxima 'Variegata' ideal for the bank and shallow water zone. Place the plant in moist soil at the edge or in a very shallow water area - depending on the pond structure.
Delivery in an 18 cm pot gives you a good root volume, which makes it easier to grow and ensures greater stability. If you want to keep the edge of the pond particularly tidy or adjust the position later, a plant basket is a practical solution: this keeps the grass where it looks best and you can keep the design under control at all times.
Thanks to zone 1-2, the plant is suitable for perennial pond systems in many regions and is a good choice if you want to combine a permanent, calm structure with a decorative foliage effect in your garden pond.
Note on shipping: 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 the coloured water grass in such a way that it "draws" the edge of the pond: place it slightly offset along the shoreline to create a natural but clear structure. It is stable at a depth of 0 to -15 cm - the edge remains particularly clean in the plant basket and you can easily move the plant if necessary.
