Description
Overall smaller in size than P. glauca, with narrower leaves, P. palustris will also draw attention because of its interesting white flowers. They have a whorl of sterile stamens (staminodes) with drop-like honey-coloured ends that attract but not reward flies and other small insects. The reward, the nectar, is produced at the base of the staminodes.
A good plant for late season flowering along the pond edges, streams or any slightly moist area of the garden.
Germination: sow in late fall/early winter (cold/moist stratification). The seeds are very fine and require light for germination, sow superficial. They will grow very slow in the first season.
