& &#38 Pontederia Cordata 9cm Potted Plant X 2

Pontederia cordata, commonly known as Pickerel Weed, is a striking marginal aquatic plant that brings both beauty and biodiversity to your pond. Its glossy, heart-shaped leaves rise elegantly above the water’s edge, while tall spikes of vivid blue flowers bloom from midsummer into early autumn – much later than many other aquatic plants. This long flowering period ensures ongoing interest and valuable nectar for pollinators when few other pond plants are in flower. Ideal for pond margins and shallow water planting zones, Pontederia cordata has a slow-spreading clump-forming habit, making it suitable for everything from large wildlife ponds to compact garden features. It adds height, colour, and movement to aquatic planting schemes and requires very little maintenance once established. A perfect choice for both ornamental and wildlife-friendly water gardens.
