Water-gladiolus
Butomus umbellatus
Water-gladiolus is an aquatic marginal plant that thrives in shallow ponds, bog gardens, or water features with full sun to partial shade. Keep the roots submerged in up to 6 inches of water and ensure the planting site does not dry out. It produces delicate pink umbel flowers in summer and benefits from dividing every few years to stay vigorous.
