Scirpus isolepis is an evergreen sedge that forms graceful, fountain-like clumps of slender, thread-like foliage. In mid to late summer, each leaf blade is topped with tiny, silvery-white flower heads, creating a shimmering effect reminiscent of fibre-optic lights. The flowers are followed by small brown seedheads. This low growing plant is perfect for growing in the shallow margins of ponds, dotted around the edges or in bog gardens. Beyond its visual appeal, Scirpus isolepis offers ecological benefits. Its dense foliage provides shelter for aquatic wildlife and filters out excess nitrates, contributing to a balanced ecosystem. Water depth: 0 to 10cm (4in). Ultimate height: 20cm (8in) Ultimate spread: 60cm (24in).

An evergreen sedge that forms graceful, fountain-like clumps of slender, thread-like foliage topped with tiny, silvery-white flower heads.

Grow Scirpus in moist,boggy soils or submerged in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a maximum depth of up to 10cm (4in) below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi shade. Tidy any dead foliage in autumn. Scirpus requires virtually no maintenance. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps in late spring and early summer if necessary.

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.”
