Flowering Period
This rapidly growing native plant features tall stems with vertical, narrow, strap-like leaves. In summer, it produces spherical brown flowers along rigid upright stems, which later transform into striking spiky round fruits. Known as Branched Bur Reed (Sparganium erectum), this hardy, semi-evergreen perennial thrives in still or slow-moving waters and is easily uprooted. It is an excellent choice for natural planting schemes, providing valuable cover for wildfowl and other wildlife. Height: 150 cm (59"), Spread: 200 cm (78"), Planting Depth: Zones 1 & 2, up to 15 cm (6") below water level.

Note: Plant height and spread vary with the seasons, so we list plants by pot size rather than specific dimensions. The size of the plant delivered will depend on the season, and the images provided are for reference only. Grow Branched Bur Reed in moist,boggy soils or submerged in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a maximum depth of up to 15cm (6") below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi shade.

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.
