Menyanthes trifoliata, commonly known as bogbean, is a UK native aquatic perennial offering attractive flowers and foliage. Thriving in shallow ponds, marshes, and bog gardens, it adds both visual appeal and ecological value to water features.

From April to June, bogbean produces elegant spikes of star-shaped white flowers with fringed petals, often tinged with pink, rising above the water on stems up to 30cm tall. These feathery blooms are not only visually striking but also provide an early source of food for pollinators. The plant's trifoliate, olive-green leaves resemble those of broad beans, contributing to its common name.

Bogbean's creeping rhizomes form floating mats that provide excellent surface cover, offering shelter for aquatic invertebrates and supporting biodiversity. Its presence can enhance habitats for dragonflies and damselflies, as they use the stems for perching and laying eggs. Water depth: 0-25cm. Ultimate height: 20cm to 30cm (8 to 12in). Ultimate spread: 1.5m (4.9ft).

UK native aquatic perennial with starry white flowers with fringed petals from April to June. Grow in full sun or partial shade in neutral to acid soil in reliably damp soil or water up to 25cm. Divide congested rhizomes in spring.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
