    Marginal aquatic for pond edge. This beauty forms a tight colony of stems 3’ tall and 5’ wide in five years, topped with cordate bluish-green leaves. Blue flowers above the foliage in summer attract dragonflies. Needs consistent moisture to boggy sites, sun to part shade. You might want to contain it in smaller ponds.
