Calla palustris (Bog Arum)

Also known as 'Water Arum'.

A rambling plant with heart-shaped leaves, white flowers are followed by bright red seed heads. This is one of the very few plants known to be pollinated by snails as they are attracted by the flower's scent.

This plant creeps from where it is first planted. In summer, the growing shoots can be cut off, to encourage branching, and pushed into the soil to propagate.

Plant in full sun to partial shade between 3cm and 15cm deep.

  • Flowering period: June to August
  • Mature height: 15cm to 25cm
  • Growth rate: medium

Frequently Asked Questions

Do bog garden plants need full sun?

Not always. Many thrive in part shade, especially ferns and bold-leaved plants, while others prefer more sun for better flowering. If you’re unsure, mix a variety and watch what performs best in your garden.

When is the best time to plant bog garden plants?

Spring and early autumn are ideal, when the ground is workable and plants can settle in before extremes of heat or frost. Many will establish faster if the soil stays consistently moist in the first few weeks.

Can bog garden plants grow in a container?

Yes. A container bog is a brilliant option for small spaces, patios, or awkward corners. Use a watertight pot, keep it topped up in dry spells, and choose compact, moisture-loving plants.

How do I stop a bog garden from becoming smelly or stagnant?

A bog should be wet soil, not standing water, so include light drainage and avoid over-compacting the mix. Clear fallen leaves in winter and add a little gravel or planted cover to keep the surface fresh and tidy.

When is the best time to buy pond plants in the UK?

Spring is the ideal time to add plants to your pond, as warmer temperatures encourage strong growth. We suggest purchasing between mid-February and March, to give your pond plants plenty of time to establish roots and adapt to their new environment before summer.
