  • Spike rush provides food and habitat for aquatic invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles, .
  • Can grow to a height of 40 cm .
  • Plant directly in soil or in a planting basket.
  • Cutting back the plants in the autumn will generate next years growth.
  • We would recommend a planting basket of at least 11cm across for one plant or, for more impact, plant several of the same variety in a larger basket.
  • We ship all marginal water plants bare root, this means that we wash the soil off before packing plants. During the summer months we may need to trim some of the foliage back for shipping.
