Maritime dock
Rumex maritimus
Maritime dock is a fast-growing wetland perennial that thrives in moist to waterlogged soils in full sun to partial shade. It is best suited to pond margins, rain gardens, or naturally damp areas where it can spread freely. Little maintenance is required once established, though it may self-seed prolifically if seed heads are not removed.
