Striking Blue Flower Spikes for Pond Edges and Shorelines
Royal Blue Pickerel Rush (Pontederia dilatata) is a tall, elegant pond plant known for its vibrant spikes of royal blue to lavender-blue flowers that bloom throughout the summer.

Its glossy green foliage adds lush texture, while the bold flower spikes provide vertical interest and seasonal color.
