Care and Watering
Menyanthes trifoliata thrives in consistently moist, acidic bog soil. Water with rainwater and keep the root zone damp but not waterlogged; avoid letting it dry out, especially in warmer months.
Maintenance
Remove spent flowers, trim leggy growth, and divide every few years to sustain vigor. Minimal fertilizer is enough; too much enriches the soil and harms balance.
Location
Plant at the edge of a pond or in a bog garden with full sun to partial shade. Provide cool, constant moisture and allow the roots to stay moist year-round.
Tips
Mulch with peat-free compost, use collected rainwater, and protect from harsh winter winds. Frost-hardy in cool climates, but keep roots from drying out during cold snaps.
