Fibre Optic Plant 

Scirpus cernuus 


This versatile, attractive evergreen has an apt common name. The glossy, thread-like leaves, have minute, white flower spikes on the tips of each leaf. When submerged to 10cm, this will oxygenate the pond water.

This plant is evergreen and will retain some stems/leaves throughout winter. 

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

Example plant photos taken in March 2021.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
