Planting & Care
Sow seeds in a moist, well-drained medium and keep consistently wet. For water gardens, plant seeds in containers filled with heavy loam and place in shallow water (1-6 inches deep). Germination can be slow and uneven; stratification may improve results. Maintain high moisture and provide full sun to partial shade.
Once established, water plantain requires minimal care. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding if desired. Protect from drying out, especially during hot weather.
