To propagate Golden Club (Orontium aquaticum), the most common method is division of its rhizomes in early spring; you can also propagate it by sowing seeds as soon as they are ripe, ideally in very shallow water or moist soil in a warm, bright location.
Key points about propagating Golden Club:
Division: Best time: Early spring
Process: Carefully separate the rhizomes from the existing plant and plant them individually in new locations.
Seed propagation:Collect seeds: Gather seeds when they are mature, usually in late summer.
Planting: Sow seeds directly in shallow water or moist soil. Germination: Keep the soil moist and in a warm environment until germination occurs.
Important considerations:
Growing conditions: Golden Club thrives in shallow water with muddy soil and full sun.
Planting location: Plant divisions or seedlings in a pond or wetland garden where they can access adequate water depth.
Removal of flower spikes: It’s recommended to remove the short-lived flower spikes once they fade.
