Narrow-leaf water-plantain is an aquatic or marginal perennial ideal for pond edges, water gardens, and boggy margins. Plant it in shallow water or saturated soil in a sunny to partly shaded position for best results. Once established it requires very little care and will produce delicate flower spikes that attract pollinators.
