Calla palustris (Bog Arum, Water Arum) – Marginal Pond Plant

Calla palustris, also known as Bog Arum or Water Arum, is a stunning UK-grown marginal pond plant.
Firstly, this plant features unique white spathes and a yellow spadix, offering an elegant touch to your pond.
Moreover, its glossy, arrow-shaped leaves provide beautiful contrast against its striking white flowers, enhancing pond edges.
Because it’s UK-grown, Calla palustris thrives in local climates, ensuring strong, reliable growth in your garden or water feature.
In addition, it prefers moist, acidic soil and thrives in wet or boggy conditions near the pond edge.
Also, it enjoys partial shade to full sun, making it adaptable for various garden placements and light conditions.
Although low-maintenance, regular watering during dry spells ensures it remains lush and vibrant throughout the growing season.
To maintain its health, trim back spent flowers and dead leaves in late autumn, promoting fresh growth.
Furthermore, this plant is excellent for attracting wildlife, such as pollinators and amphibians, to your pond area.
Equally, it grows in compact clumps, making it easy to manage and preventing unwanted spreading.
Notably, it pairs well with other marginal plants, adding texture and a natural look to your water garden.
