Know before you buy
A bare root plant is shipped without soil or a pot, with its root system exposed. You will need to plant it in an aquatic container with appropriate pond soil or substrate immediately upon arrival to help it establish.
This is a tropical variety that thrives in USDA zones 10-11. If you live in a colder region, you will need to treat it as an annual or overwinter the tuber indoors in a frost-free environment once temperatures drop.
No, this plant does not require CO2 supplementation. It thrives in freshwater ponds with natural sunlight, which is essential for encouraging its vibrant, day-blooming flowers.
Plant the bare root in an aquatic basket using heavy, clay-based pond soil. Ensure the crown of the plant is positioned just at the soil surface and covered with a layer of pea gravel to keep the soil in place.
As a day-blooming tropical variety, it will produce its fuchsia-raspberry flowers consistently throughout the warm growing season. The blooms typically open during the day and close at night.
