Pond Plants
Pond Plants for Garden Ponds and Wildlife Ponds
During the main pond season (approx April - September, weather dependent!), we stock a wide variety of aquatic plants for garden ponds and wildlife ponds.
These include a range of marginal plants, water lilies, oxygenating plants and floating plants.
In addition, we also stock a small range of complementary moisture- and shade-loving plants including Ferns, Hostas, etc.
We also stock liquid and root pond plant fertilisers, pond compost, and a variety of planting baskets.
