Because of the interesting appearance of this plant, it can commonly be seen growing in ornamental water gardens or Japanese style gardens. Placing it around the edge of a pond or ornamental pool can be very attractive while excluding weeds at the same time. But be aware, because this plant has a tendency to grow outside of its designated area. | |
Horticultural notes: This plant prefers to grow in wet areas such as near a pond. It is also very tolerant to areas with high amounts of shade. |
