100 Seeds Water Dock Rumex britannica Heirloom Native Wetland Plant

Water Dock is an heirloom native wetland plant grown for its bold, upright foliage and tall reddish seed stalks. It thrives in consistently moist to wet ground and makes a strong structural accent around ponds, rain gardens, and boggy borders.

The young leaves can be harvested as a culinary green when cooked, while the mature plants add vertical form and texture to naturalized plantings. It grows as a clump-forming perennial and works well in water-edge settings, meadow plantings, and damp meadow or wildlife areas.
