  Found colonising reliably moist soils or streambanks, this fast-growing perennial is ideal for adding colour to the marshy edges of a pond. Initially upright, the plant will send out stolons that root at their nodes, producing more plants which will form a generous clump. The funnel-shaped flowers are very pretty and form in loose clusters in summer.
  
  
• Garden care: Plant out in reliably moist soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond.
