Flying Hedgehogs (Juncus ensifolius)

Also known as 'Beaver Dam Plant'.

Bright green, grass-like foliage is topped with numerous very dark brown seed heads making it an attractive and unusual addition to a pond and giving it its common name.

Little maintenance is required. Trim just above the water surface after foliage has died back in Autumn to tidy leaving a little material to protect new shoots.

Plant in full sun to partial shade between 0cm and 5cm deep.
