Scirpus cernuus - Isolepis cernua fiber optic plant

A superb architectural plant that really warrants a spot in the margins of any garden pond. Its fine slender bright green leaves are topped with silvery white flowers at their ends, earning it the name the Fibre optic plant.

This little beautiful little character can be sunk in up to eight centimetres of water at a ponds edge, It is happy growing in a sunny or partially shaded position and the good news is it is fully hardy and has no problem with our climate . The Unusual flowers appear from June until August.

If you have no access or space for a pond then not to worry as the Fibre optic plant can be grown in a container, just be very generous with the watering.
