Commonly known as Powdery Alligator-Flag or Water Canna, Thalia dealbata is celebrated for its architectural presence and wonderful foliage. Its large, lance-shaped blue green leaves rise gracefully above the water on tall stems. The foliage is dusted in a white, powdery coating that not only gives the plant its "powdery" moniker but also adds a silvery sheen that enhances its visual appeal. In late summer, tall arching flower spikes emerge, bearing clusters of small, violet-purple flowers that rise above the foliage. Ideal for planting at the edges of ponds, in shallow water or up to 60 cm deep, Thalia dealbata is deciduous in the UK, dying back in winter and re-emerging in spring. An impressive choice for its sculptural foliage, bringing a lush, tropical ambiance to the water garden. Water depth: 10-60cm. Ultimate height: 1.5-2m (4.9 to 6.5ft) ). Ultimate spread: 50cm to 1.2m (20in to 4ft).

Exotic marginal grown for its lush, tropical foliage.

Grow in full sun at a water depth of 10-60cm. Shallow plants should be moved into deeper water over winter to protect roots from freezing.

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.

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.
