Eriophorum Angustifolium
Cotton Grass
Height: Medium
Planting Zone: 1 - 2
A lovely British bog and shallow water plant forming neat clumps of rush-like foliage and numerous erect white-tufted heads of ‘cotton balls’. The heads are sometimes used in country districts for making candle wicks. Plant in moist conditions by the pond or in the bog garden, or plant in a medium container in the shallow margins of the pond. Use aquatic soil and top with pea gravel.
