What should I do if the plant grows over 60cm?
Repot into a larger mesh basket or plant in gravel to prevent it from falling over.

The Sweet Flag plant has grown well in my pond with minimal care. The yellow and green stripes are very striking and the plant stays healthy even in partial shade. I only trimmed it once in autumn and it looked great the next season.

It arrived alive and the foliage is vibrant. I placed it in a shallow pond and it has spread slowly into a nice clump. I didn’t need to do anything except trim after autumn. A good addition to a natural pond setup.

The plant has been thriving for over a year. The color contrast is beautiful and it doesn’t require much attention. I like that it stays low and doesn’t take over the pond area.
