What types of plants should I include in my pond?

A balanced pond typically includes a mix of marginal plants (for edges), oxygenators (to keep water clear), floating plants (for shade), and deep-water plants like water lilies for colour and coverage.

How do pond plants help keep the water clear?

Plants, especially oxygenators, absorb excess nutrients from the water, helping to reduce algae growth. They also shade the water, slowing algae by limiting sunlight.

When is the best time to plant pond plants?

The ideal time is spring through early summer, when temperatures are rising. This gives plants time to establish and grow strongly during the warmer months.

Do I need soil to plant in a pond?

Most pond plants do best in aquatic planting baskets filled with aquatic soil or a low-nutrient compost, which helps anchor the plants while preventing excess nutrients in the water.

Will pond plants survive the winter?

Many pond plants are hardy and will return each year, especially native UK species. However, some tropical or tender varieties may need to be moved indoors or protected.

Weak and yellow plant

Received the plant and planted the same day following carefully the instructions. Unfortunately, the lily was tiny and the 2 tiny leaves were both yellow when unpacked. 2 weeks later the plant is dead (probably was already when received) even though it was planted in healthy well-oxygenated pond with other thriving plants.

pond plants.

Cannot rate the seller highly enough, obviously when buying any growing garden item there is always an element of luck involved but by following the instructions enclosed with the plant it seems to be suited to my small pond. thank you.

Just as described

Was next day delivery so no chance to dry out. A few stems rotted but no big deal. Came with potting kit but I had ordered extra gravel to cover earth a bit more as they were going into a koi pond. Very neat dwarf lily. Look very healthy

Small

Rather smaller than I expected. Koi have nearly eaten all of it. Do not expect it to recover
