As with any other type of garden, a water garden is brought to life and given its vibrancy through your choice of plants and flowers.

Aquatic plants can also help to keep your pond free of algae and provide valuable cover for fish and other pond creatures. We supply a wide variety of seasonal aquatic plants in all sizes to give your garden colour and bloom, including:

  • Aquatic Marginals - From £2.99 per 9cm pot
  • Oxygenators - £1.00 per bunch
  • Waterlilies
  • Water Hyacinths and other deep marginals
  • Lotuses and other tropicals
  • Potted oxygenators

Marginal plants occupy the shallower edges of your pond, not liking to dry out but not requiring the deep water of the Waterlily. They often grow quite tall and so provide shade and texture to the surrounding of your pond.

Like jewels floating on the water, Waterlilies are a stunning ornament to any water garden…

Monet’s inspiration, Waterlilies are the classic pond plant – the red rose of the water garden world – and no pond or lake is truly complete without theses delicate yet hardy blooms.

Waterlilies come in all sizes, shapes and colours. We can provide you with red, pink, yellow, and blue flowers, from tiny clusters to giant stars, in both day and night blooming forms. Extra large varieties of lilies and other exotic aquatic plants are available on request.

How to use flowers to keep your pond clean!

Oxygenators absorb excess nutrients from the water, keeping your pond clean and clear. They need to be totally submerged in the water and often do not even need to put their roots in soil.

The water hyacinth has interestingly attractive foliage and orchid-like blooms, and combines beauty with functionality – filtering out impurities in the water to keep the healthy balance of your pond.

The most dramatic of aquatic plants, the lotus is famed for its mystical simplicity

Standing high above the water’s surface, the Lotus plays its part in legends and myths from many cultures , it flourishes either in bowls or grown in sheltered ponds, it is available in the UK as Red/Pink blooms..
