Pond Planet Moisture Loving Plant Guide:
Moisture Loving Plants are excellent for bog gardens or damp areas where the soil does not dry out.

To plant, simply remove the plant from the pot and position in a hole deep enough to accommodate the root ball. Then backfill around the plant gently firming the soil around the planting area.

Make sure to trim back dead foliage in Autumn.
