The corkscrew foliage is very unique and adds a nice texture to my pond. It’s been growing well since I planted it in spring. I trimmed it early in the year and saw new growth immediately. It stays green all year and doesn’t need much maintenance.

I was drawn to this plant because of its unusual shape. It’s slow-growing, which is perfect for a small pond. I planted it in a 5L pot and didn’t need to re-pot it. It’s thriving in part shade and looks great all season.

The plant arrived healthy and the mesh pot made planting easy. It’s been in the pond for three months and still looks vibrant. The brown foliage stands out nicely against the water and surrounding plants.
