Longleaf dock
Rumex longifolius
Longleaf dock is a robust perennial that thrives in moist soils and tolerates partial shade to full sun, making it well suited to boggy or riparian garden areas. Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, as it naturally grows near streams and wet habitats. It is a low-fuss plant but can spread aggressively in ideal conditions, so monitor its growth.
