A colourful pond in autumn? The marsh gladiolus 'Major' (Schizostylis coccinea) won't disappoint. The stunning red flowers are real eye-catchers in our garden. The wetland plant is even evergreen and hardy! 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 gladiolus up to 40 cm deep in the pond. Plant the marsh gladiolus in the spring. The flowers bloom in the autumn.
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. Put the plant in full sun or partial shade.
For a stunning pond!
