Rumex hydrolapathum, commonly known as Water Dock, is a striking and robust perennial that thrives in wetland habitats, pond margins, and damp meadows. This moisture-loving plant features large, elongated, glossy green leaves that form an impressive clump, adding bold texture to the landscape.

Its dramatic foliage and towering flower spikes create a striking focal point, while its hardy and low-maintenance nature makes it an easy-care addition to wetland environments. With its architectural form and ability to thrive in challenging conditions, this plant adds both beauty and function to any water-side setting.
