Tubular water-dropwort is an aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial that requires consistently wet to waterlogged soil, making it best suited for pond margins or bog gardens. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and must never be allowed to dry out. This plant is extremely toxic and should be handled with great caution — it is not suitable for households with children or pets.
