Description

The name gypsywort comes from the belief that Romani people would stain their skin with the juice of the plant, it has a nettle like appearance.

Repotting or planting

9cm marginal plants require potting into a larger mesh basket. Place in a pond no deeper than 1/3 maximum recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish. 1ltr marginal plants do not require repotting, place in the pond no deeper than 1/2 maximum recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish. 3ltr and 5ltr plants do not require repotting, as they are larger more established plants they can be placed up to the maximum recommended depth. There is no need to remove the mesh basket.

Care instructions

Do not remove the pot as damaging the roots will seriously impair the plant health. After foliage has died back in autumn remove dead leaves from the water.
