Oenanthe javanica 'Flamingo' is a delightful marginal plant, grown for its pretty variegated foliage, which brings colour to the pond as early as March. Its leaves have pink and cream margins, which perfectly complement its small white summer flowers. Autumn temperatures intensify the leaf colours, further extending the season of interest. It’s ideal for growing at the pond edge or at the front of a bog garden.
Grow Oenanthe javanica 'Flamingo' in moist to boggy soil in partial sun. If growing in a pond, it will grow outside the pot, forming a tangled mass of roots on the surface of the water - these can simply be gathered and removed. Alternatively, plant them in soil to generate new plants.
