21 Swamp plants Swamp loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) Growth height: approx. 80 – 150 cm (2.6 – 5 ft.) Flowering time: June – September Cut back in spring, remove withered blooms. Can be propagated by cuttings in early summer. Bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliata) Growth height: up to 30 cm (12 in.) Flowering time: May – June Plant in a sunny place. Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) Growth height: approx. 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in.) Flowering time: March – June Easy to maintain, but should not be plant- ed in a too shady place as otherwise long stems will be formed. Partially remove leaves in summer as to prevent mildew. Water forget-me-not (Myosotis scorpioides) Growth height: approx. 20 – 40 cm (8 – 16 in.) Flowering time: May – October Frugal, tends to spread. Goes along well with marsh marigold. When it comes to ponds, plants are categorized into bank plants, marsh plants, shallow water plants and deep water plants according to their preferred location. Then cover the basket surface with stone to prevent the plant from getting loose. In the swamp zone you should fix the plants with a slope mat.
