Anemopsis Californica (Marginal Aquatic)

Anemopsis californica makes a useful addition to ponds and bog gardens, giving plenty of seasonal interest. Commonly known as Apache Beads, this marginal aquatic bears unusual shaped flowers throughout summer. Each honey-scented bloom has a prominent central cone surrounded by showy white bracts. This hardy perennial has a spreading habit forming large clumps of dark green foliage. During cold spells in Autumn, the flowers and leaves may turn red adding a splash of late colour to water gardens. Height: 40cm (16″). Spread: 90cm (36″). Planting depth: Zone 1 & 2 to 15cm below water level.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Anemopsis in boggy soil or the shallow margins of ponds at a maximum depth of 15cm below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi-shade.
