Water
Lilies - 'Nymphaea' |
| Water lilies
are the favourite pond plant producing magnificent
blooms and essential pond cover. |
| Many types
available. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
Yellow
Flag |
| 'Iris
pseudacorus' |
| Sulphur
yellow flowers on branched stems in July and August and
white or yellow-striped, grey-green leaves. This
variegated yellow flag iris is perfect for planting at
the margins of a large lake or pool. Since it's an
extremely vigorous variety it's unsuitable for ordinary,
domestic garden ponds. |
 |
|
 |
Brandy
Bottle |
| 'Nuphar
lutea' |
| Bottle-shaped
yellow flowers from June to August above leathery, mid-
to deep green floating leaves. The flowers of this
vigorous deep water aquatic plant smell strongly of
alcohol - hence its intriguing common name. Coping well
in sun or partial shade, it's ideal for a large pond or
lake. |

|
 |
Chile
Rhubarb |
| 'Gunnera
manicata' |
| Gigantic,
deeply-lobed, deep green leaves up to 2 metres across on
prickly stalks. This majestic, architectural plant is
perfect for the edge of a large pond or stream. One of
the most spectacular plants that can be grown in
Britain, it requires deep, permanently moist, humus-rich
soil, lots of space and protection from cold, drying
winds. |

|
 |
Arum Lily |
| 'Zantedeschia
aethiopica' |
| Unusual,
pure white hood-shaped flowers that are up to 10-15cm
(4-6in) long are produced from late spring to
mid-summer. It makes a striking architectural clump with
lovely arrow-shaped, glossy dark green leaves. |
|
|
 |
Iris
Versicolor |
| Growing
to 80cm tall, with narrow, erect foliage and branched
stems bearing several bluish-purple and conspicuously
veined white flowers |
|
|
 |
Marsh Marigold |
| 'Caltha Palustris' |
| Kingcups
(or marsh marigolds), form loose clumps of kidney-shaped
leaves. In spring and early summer, large, shiny golden
flowers like giant, waxy buttercups appear. Why not grow
around the edge of a pond, where they look their best as
their reflections are seen in water. |
|
|
 |
Miniature Bulrush |
| 'Typha Minima' |
| This
perfect miniature form of the familiar bulrush is ideal
for small ponds and even aquatic tubs. It can even make
your pond look deceptively bigger. |
|
|
 |
Flowering Rush |
| 'Butomus Umbellatus' |
| This handsome marginal plant from Asia is a splendid sight at the water's edge. Attractive bi-coloured flowers, 2.5cm (1in) across and gathered in a distinctive umbel at the top of stems which are taller than the long, narrow leaves. |

Floating
Aquatic Planters |
| Whether
you’re adding new plants to your pond or dividing
existing pond plants, we always recommend you use
aquatic planters. Specially designed for use in your
garden pond, these planters have been designed to let
the water flow through them whilst retaining the soil
your plants are growing in. By using planters you can
also control the growth of your plants – it’s easy
for you to lift them out of your pond to divide up your
plants to prevent overcrowding. |
