Medium Bulrush, Medium reedmace | Typha gracilis

    Description

    Medium Bulrush, Medium reedmace (Typha gracilis) is a compact marginal plant ideal for adding height and structure to medium and large garden ponds. This smaller reedmace produces elegant, milk chocolate brown seed heads from July to September, bringing strong vertical lines and natural texture to the water’s edge.

    Best planted in full sun, Typha gracilis is a fast-growing marginal that quickly establishes to create a natural-looking pond margin. Its upright foliage and dense growth help provide shelter around the pond edge, supporting a more wildlife-friendly environment and contributing to a balanced, attractive waterscape.

    The rich brown flower spikes of this medium bulrush make a striking contrast against green foliage and open water, giving a classic, natural wetland look that suits both contemporary and traditional UK garden ponds.

      Care Instructions

      Sunlight: Medium Bulrush thrives in full sun, making it perfect for brightly lit ponds and water features.

      Maintenance: To keep your pond looking its best, cut back the foliage before new spring growth begins. This encourages healthy, vigorous growth for the coming season.

      Seed Heads: The plant produces attractive milk-chocolate seed heads that can be left standing through winter for added interest. However, it’s best to clear these if they start falling into the water to maintain cleanliness.

      Growth: As a fast-growing marginal plant, Medium Bulrush quickly establishes itself along pond edges, providing natural habitat and helping to improve water quality.

      Ordering, Shipping, Tracking and Returns
      Ordering & delivery


      Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

      The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

      30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

      If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

      For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

      Returns & problems on arrival

      Because we sell live aquatic plants and molluscs, some parts of our policy work differently from standard retail.

      Live plants and molluscs are perishable and are not suitable for routine returns once they have been prepared for dispatch.

      If there is a genuine issue on arrival, please contact us within 24 hours using the form on our Contact page, with your order number, photographs, and a short explanation.

      We will always review genuine issues carefully and fairly. Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate remedy may include a replacement, refund, or partial refund where appropriate.

      Please do not send anything back unless we have agreed this with you in writing first.

      For full details, please see our Refunds & Returns Policy.
