Pretty young plant, well developed. Planted in a natural pond as a purifying plant, the foliage slowly takes on pinkish hues that fade quite quickly if the sun is lacking. Good tillering. Waiting for the regrowth.

Planting and care

Oenanthe javanica ‘Flamingo’ is planted from February to April, or from September to October; spring is preferable in a cold climate. It tolerates full sun and partial shade. The sun colours the foliage more in soil saturated with water. It grows in a fertile soil, rich in humus, loamy or clayey, waterlogged or marshy, whether acid, neutral or alkaline. In light soil, incorporate clay soil and well-rotted compost to retain water better. In a pond, plant it in a basket filled with aquatic compost, with the stump at water level or submerged 5 to 10 cm below the water surface. Stems that grow beyond the intended area are pulled up during the season. Division is carried out in spring.
