• A bright and versatile accent plant
• Low maintenance and beneficial to wildlife

Scirpus lacustris, also known as Common Bulrush or Great Club-rush, features tall, cylindrical, dark green stems that create a strong vertical statement and graceful architectural form at the water's edge.

It produces clusters of small, brownish spikelets in summer, adding subtle textural interest. These plants are excellent for providing essential habitat, nesting material for birds, and shelter for various aquatic wildlife, including fish and emerging insects like dragonflies.

Fully hardy and exceptionally low maintenance, Common Bulrush is robust and unbothered by most pests and diseases. It also plays a role in natural water filtration, helping to keep pond water clear.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade, planted in shallow water up to 30cm (12 inches) deep or in consistently boggy soil. Ideal for natural-style ponds, lake edges, and wildlife areas.
