information: "Bog Bean" should be grown
in baskets as it can be an invasive plant. Individual "Bog
Bean" plants would be suitable for container water gardening.
In summer the plant produces very attractive clusters of
small star shaped white flowers. Plant in early spring in baskets directly in the pond at a maximum depth of
9".
Remove any dead or dying
foliage and flowers as they appear. |
