An excellent addition to the water garden with textural, evergreen foliage that adds vertical accents, defining the pond edge whilst hiding liners and protecting them from UV damage.

Scirpus lacustris ‘Albescens’ features tall, cylindrical green stems striped with cream that rise gracefully from a creeping rhizome. In summer, it produces clusters of small, brownish-green flowers, adding subtle texture and visual interest. The foliage retains its colour for a long time through winter, providing all-season interest and excellent cover for wildlife. Less vigorous than common bulrush, it is a better choice for smaller ponds. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Scirpus lacustris contributes to water purification by filtering excess nutrients, thus promoting a healthier aquatic ecosystem. Water depth: 0-30cm. Ultimate height: 80-120cm (31 to 47in). Ultimate spread: 40cm (16in).

An evergreen sedge with tall, cylindrical green stems striped with cream.

Grow in the shallow margins of the pond up to a water depth of 30cm over the crown. Choose a position in sun or semi shade.

Requires very little maintenance. Trim back any dead foliage in autumn. Congested clumps can be divided in spring or early summer.

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.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.

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.”
