Rumex Sanguineus (Marginal Aquatic)

Rumex sanguineus is grown for its foliage; crimson veins decorate each dark green leaf with intricate patterns. The large leaves form dense, attractive rosettes that create good cover for wildlife when grown in large groups. Wood Dock is a hardy, resilient British native, commonly seen on woodland edges and verges. Its love of damp soils makes it ideal for growing as a marginal aquatic in wildlife ponds and native planting schemes. Height: 90cm (36″). Spread: 30cm (12″). Planting depth: Zones 1 and 2 to 15cm (6″) below water level.
