It resembles water mint, But they're slightly different. English water mint, also known as Hart's pennyroyal (Mentha cervina), doesn't grow as high and has smaller leaves. But the enjoyment doesn't end there! A fresh, minty scent and lovely purple flowers. Not only that, butterflies and bees find English water mint irresistible! The aquatic plant is a waterside and marsh plant. We can plant the plant along the edge (bank) of our pond. Or we can plant the plant up to 40 cm deep in the pond. Plant the waterside plant in the spring. The flower blossoms in the summer.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water's hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. The aquatic plant loves sun and partial shade.
