Marsh gladiolus Schizostylis ‘Mrs Hegarty’ red – Marsh plant waterside plant

An eye-catcher in the autumn. The evergreen marsh gladiolus ‘Mrs Hegarty’ (Schizostylis coccinea) blooms then with stunning pink flowers. Full, pink flowers emerge between the sword-shaped leaves. For a vibrant colour in our pond. The aquatic plant is a waterside and marsh plant. We can plant the plant along the edge (bank) of our pond. Or we can plant the gladiolus up to 40 cm deep in the pond. Plant the marsh gladiolus in the spring. The flowers bloom in the autumn.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water’s hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. Put the plant in full sun or partial shade.
