Yellow marsh iris for the garden pond - Iris pseudacorus

The yellow marsh iris is a classic waterside plant that gives pond edges an upright and natural structure. With a height of 60-80 cm, it is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone and provides seasonal accents during the flowering period from May to July (V-VII). It is hardy in zones 1-3 and therefore suitable for many locations.

Flowering time: V-VII (May to July)
Flower colour: yellow
Winter hardiness: Zone 1, 2 and 3
Pot: approx. 18 cm

Plant specifications:

You create a natural-looking pond edge and give the bank zone a clear structure with the upright growth.
The planting depth of 0 to -40 cm allows flexible placement from the wet edge to the shallow water area.
Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-3, the marsh iris is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond plants.

Technical data:

Botanical name: Iris pseudacorus
German name: Yellow marsh iris
Planting depth: 0 to -40 cm
Flowering time: V-VII (May to July)
Winter hardiness: Zone 1/2/3
Pot: approx. 18 cm

With Iris pseudacorus (yellow marsh iris), you are choosing a tried-and-tested plant for a permanently attractive pond edge and bank design. With its sword-shaped leaves, it brings a clear, vertical structure to the garden pond and helps to make the transition between the water surface and the garden bed appear more natural. It is particularly popular in near-natural pond systems because it visually "grips" the edge area while leaving enough lightness for a harmonious overall appearance.

The marsh iris reaches a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm and is therefore ideal for the centre to background of the bank planting. In combination with lower marginal plants, it creates a harmonious structure that does not overgrow the pond but clearly organises it. The flowering period from May to July (V-VII) brings seasonal highlights to the edge of the pond. The plant looks best when planted in small groups or as a recurring element along the shoreline, creating a calm, well-organised design. A major advantage is the flexible planting depth of 0 to -40 cm. This means you can either plant Iris pseudacorus directly in moist bank soil or in the shallow water area - depending on the structure of your pond and the effect you want to achieve.

For neat, controllable planting, planting in a plant basket is often recommended, especially if you want to adjust the position later. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-3, the yellow marsh iris is suitable for many regions and is a solid choice for long-term pond planting.

Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by the post or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.

Zoo Roco tip: It is best to plant Iris pseudacorus at a depth of 0 to -40 cm so that the plant does not stand in the middle of the pond but emphasises the edge - this is where it looks most natural. If you want a very neat pond edge, use a plant basket so that the plant stays exactly where you want it.

Dwarf water lily – Nymphaea Pygmaea Rubra

Dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’ red (18cm)The dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’ brings an elegant splash of colour to the water’s surface with its red flowers. Thanks to its compact form, it is particularly suitable for smaller garden ponds as well as mini ponds and bowls. Ideal if you want a water lily that doesn’t take up too much space.Dwarf-form water lily – suitable for small water areasFlower colour: redGrowth: compact, for a controlled leaf areaArea of application: Garden pond, mini pond, tub/bowlTechnical dataBotanical name: Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’English name: Dwarf water lilyFlower colour: redPlanting depth: -10 to -40cmFlowering period: June to September Pot size: approx. 18 cmWith the dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’ you bring the typical water lily atmosphere into the garden – even if your pond is rather small or you want to plant in a mini pond or tub. Dwarf water lilies are designed to unfold a harmonious effect in a limited space: Floating leaves on the surface and an attractive blossom, without the water area being quickly completely covered. The ‘Rubra’ variety creates an elegant, easily visible splash of colour with its red flowers.Especially with smaller garden ponds, balanced planting is crucial. Water lilies that grow too vigorously can quickly dominate the surface and “close” the water effect. In comparison, a dwarf water lily remains more compact and is therefore a good choice if you want a calm, well-kept look and nevertheless do not want to do without the classic water lily eye-catcher. ‘Rubra’ is particularly effective when positioned so that you have a good view of the flowers from your seat or terrace – as the red shades clearly stand out against the water and greenery.For establishing, stable placement is important, ideally in a planting basket or a suitable container. This way the rhizome lies undisturbed, and you can adjust the position if necessary. If you are looking for a compact water lily with a strong colour, Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’ is a fitting choice for a natural yet controlled pond design.Note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it may occur that plants are slightly damaged during postal delivery or by other unforeseen events. This includes both brown leaves and bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Put dwarf water lilies in a planting basket so you can easily adjust their position. If the plant is still small at first, start out higher (shallower) and lower them later – this often encourages quicker growth and flowering.

Arum italicum (9cm) - Arum italicum

Arum italicum - arumArum italicum is a striking structural plant for moist, semi-shady to shady edges around the garden pond. At a height of 30-40 cm, it is ideal for visually structuring bank areas and closing gaps in the planting. It flowers between April and June.Flower colour: redFlowering period: IV-VI (April to June)Height: approx. 30-40 cmPot: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications:Ideal for structuring bank areas and damp garden spotsFits well in shadier pond edge zones, where classic flowering plants are often weakerSuitable for perennial design (hardy)Technical dataBotanical name: Arum italicumGerman name: ArumFlowering time: IV-VIWinter hardiness: Zone 1Height: 30 / 40 cmDepth: 0 / -40 cmWith Arum italicum (arum), you are choosing a plant for your garden pond that is particularly impressive due to its structuring effect. There are often areas around ponds that are permanently slightly damp and are also occasionally shaded - this is exactly where the arum shows its strengths. It is suitable for visually defining edge zones, calming transitions and harmoniously complementing the planting without the pond edge appearing overloaded.The plant reaches a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm and therefore fits well in the foreground to midground. Arum italicum is particularly attractive for the early season: the flowering period from April to June (IV-VI) already brings life to the edge planting when many summer-flowering pond plants are still being established. This creates a harmonious annual cycle - with an early accent that keeps your pond design interesting for longer.For the location, the specified planting depth of 0 to -40 cm is a guide value for moist areas by the water. In the garden pond, we recommend placing the plant in the moist bank zone or in an easily controllable area so that you can easily control its growth. In permanently wet areas, a stable position is important - depending on the pond structure, a plant basket can help to position the plant securely and move it if necessary. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1, Arum italicum is suitable for long-term, perennial landscaping. This makes Arum italicum an interesting choice if you are looking for robust structural plants for damp, cooler locations.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by the post or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo Roco tip: In garden ponds, arum looks particularly beautiful behind low shallow-water plants, where it "builds up" the edge zone without obstructing the view of the water. Place it in the moist bank soil rather than freely in the open water - this keeps the plant stable and the edge of the pond neat.

Japanese primrose (9 cm) – Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’

Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’ – Japanese primrose for pond edgePrimula japonica ‘Appleblossom’ is a compact spring-flowering plant that brings fresh colour to damp pond edges and the shore zone. The red flowers appear from March to May (III–V), adding early highlights. With a height of 20–30 cm, the plant stays low and is ideal for the foreground.Flower colour: light pinkFlowering period: III–V (March to May)Height: approx. 20–30 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications: They provide visible colour accents at the garden pond as early as spring – just when many pond plants are only beginning to sprout.The compact height keeps a clear view of the water surface and provides a neat look along the shoreline.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the primrose can be placed flexibly in damp border areas.Technical data:Botanical name: Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’Common name: Japanese primroseHeight (cm): 20 / 30 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: III–VWinter hardiness: Zone 1Pot size: 9 cmWith Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’, you add a charming spring-flowering plant at the garden pond that clearly enhances damp border areas. Especially around ponds, the start of the season is decisive: While many marginal plants are still developing in spring, this primrose already adds colour from March to May (III–V). This makes the pond edge look tidy and lively early in the year – ideal if you would like your garden pond to be an eye-catcher right from the start of the season.The plant remains pleasantly compact at around 20 to 30 cm in height. As such, it is ideal for the foreground of the marginal planting, for damp border beds, or as a colourful accent between stones and stepping stones. ‘Appleblossom’ has a particularly harmonious effect when you place several plants in small groups: This results in a calm, natural look and emphasises the shoreline without visually closing off the water surface.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm gives you flexibility in placement. In practice, the Japanese primrose is ideal in damp shoreline soil or in very shallow marginal zones, where the soil remains evenly fresh. The 9 cm pot is perfect if you want to plant several for a quick visible effect. If water levels fluctuate, a small plant basket can be useful to keep the plant stable and the location tidy.Thanks to Zone 1, Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’ is winter-hardy and therefore suitable for perennial pond-edge arrangements. An appealing choice if you want to make the pond edge attractive not just in summer but already in spring.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged. Despite all due care, plants may be slightly damaged by postal transport or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as broken stems. We do not accept liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant ‘Appleblossom’ where you often walk by in spring – it is ideal for bringing the pond edge to life early on. If your border area becomes drier at times in summer, place the primrose a little more sheltered in damp soil (rather than deeper in water) to ensure it is evenly supplied.

Cotton grass (9 cm) – Eriophorum angustifolium

Eriophorum angustifolium – Cotton grass for pond edgeEriophorum angustifolium (cotton grass) brings a light, natural effect to the garden pond with its white flowers from April to June (IV–VI). With a height of 30–40 cm, it is ideal for shoreline and shallow water zones. The recommended planting depth is 0 to –15 cm; it is hardy in zone 1–2.Flower colour: whiteFlowering period: IV–VI (April to June)Height: approx. 30–40 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmSpecifications for the plant: They create an especially natural pond edge and bring an airy, “meadow-like” structure to the shoreline.The flowering period IV–VI ensures bright highlights in spring which are especially effective by the water.Thanks to zone 1–2, cotton grass is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond plantings.Technical data:Botanical name: Eriophorum angustifoliumEnglish name: Cotton grassHeight (cm): 30 / 40 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Eriophorum angustifolium (cotton grass / cottongrass), you’re choosing a plant at your garden pond that creates a particularly natural, light effect. Cotton grass is an excellent match for pond installations that are designed to look natural or where a deliberately soft shoreline is desired. Its grass-like growth brings structure to the border zone without looking heavy or dominant – ideal if you wish to keep the water’s surface optically open. The white flowers appear from April to June (IV–VI) and create bright highlights early in the year. Especially by water, these flowers look particularly attractive, as they reflect beautifully on a calm surface and “brighten up” the shoreline. With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm cotton grass is perfect for the foreground to midground: it can be easily combined with lower ground cover plants and also forms a good match next to taller marginal plants which may stand in the background. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Eriophorum angustifolium ideal for the shoreline and shallow water border zone. Plant it in moist shoreline soil or place it in very shallow water areas.If you prefer a clear pond edge or would like to keep the position flexible later, a planting basket is a practical solution – this keeps the plant exactly where it works best. Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2 cotton grass is suitable for many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for perennial planting at the pond edge. It is particularly effective if you plant several slightly offset – this creates a natural shoreline effect that harmoniously frames the pond.Note on delivery: We endeavour to ensure that our plants reach you healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Cotton grass looks its best when placed in small groups in the margin (0 to –15 cm) and combined with calmer green plants. If your water level fluctuates, initially place the pot a little higher and lower it step by step after the plant has established itself – in this way, the plant usually starts more reliably.

Around ponds and in the shore zone, there are often areas that are consistently fresh to damp in spring – ideal conditions for cuckoo flower. It is perfect if you want a gentle, ‘meadow-like’ appearance that softens the transition between water and garden.The flowering period from March to May (III–V) makes Cardamine pratensis a valuable spring-flowering plant. The delicate pink flowers look light and cheerful and bring colour to the pond edge without being obtrusive. Especially in combination with early pond-edge plants, this creates a harmonious spring scene that makes your garden pond attractive from the start of the season.With a growth height of approx. 30 to 40 cm, cuckoo flower is suitable for the foreground to midground. It looks lovely when planted in small groups to give the flowers a wider effect and the edge a ‘grown’ appearance. It also fits well in damp border beds next to the pond, where it forges a natural connection between grasses and low groundcovers. As no specific planting depth is given, it is recommended to plant in moist bank soil or in areas that remain regularly damp – not directly into open water.The plant is supplied in a 9-cm pot, which is particularly suitable if you wish to plant several specimens to quickly achieve a harmonious overall appearance. Thanks to zone 1, Cardamine pratensis is robust and suitable for perennial planting – a good choice if you want to create a natural-looking and low-maintenance pond edge in the long term.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite taking the greatest care, plants may suffer slight damage during postal delivery or due to other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant cuckoo flower where there is enough moisture in spring – e.g. at the edge of a shallow bay or in a gently sloping bank area. Planted in small groups, the flowers look especially natural and visually connect the pond edge and adjacent border in a very harmonious way.

With a height of 20–30 cm, it fits ideally into the shore and shallow water zones. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zone 1–2.Flower colour: yellowFlowering period: V–IX (May to September)Height: approx. 20–30 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmSpecifications for the plant:You receive a compact marginal plant, which nestles naturally around the pond without obscuring the view of the water.The long flowering period V–IX brings yellow accents to the shoreline for many weeks.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the plant can be flexibly placed at the damp edge or in very shallow water.Technical data:Botanical name: Ranunculus flammulaEnglish name: Flame buttercup (also: Lesser spearwort, depending on designation)Height: 20 / 30 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: V–IXWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Ranunculus flammula (Lesser Spearwort), you choose a delicate yet effective plant for the shore and shallow water zone of your garden pond. Especially at the pond edge, low-growing plants are important to ensure the water surface remains visible and the transition to the surroundings is soft. Ranunculus flammula fulfils exactly this function: it remains compact, can be placed well between stones or along edges and creates a natural, “grown-in” appearance. The long flowering period from May to September (V–IX) is particularly attractive. The yellow flowers add small, cheerful colour accents to the pond edge for many weeks – ideal if you want not just sporadic bursts of flowering, but a permanently lively edge zone.With a growth height of approx. 20 to 30 cm, the plant is suitable for the foreground: it can fill gaps, visually soften edges and have a surface effect without becoming dominant. Planted in small groups, it gives a calm, natural impression; planted singly, it gives specific colour accents.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Ranunculus flammula very flexible. You can plant it in damp bank soil or place it in very shallow water – depending on how your pond is structured. The 9-cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to plant several specimens to quickly achieve a closed appearance along the shoreline. For a well-kept pond edge, a planting basket can be helpful to ensure the plant stands firmly and can be easily moved if required. Thanks to zone 1–2, Ranunculus flammula is winter hardy and suitable for permanent pond installations.It is a good choice if you are looking for a low-growing, floriferous plant for the pond edge that blends harmoniously into naturalistic plantings.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure our plants reach you healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it may happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent twigs. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Plant Ranunculus flammula where you desire a delicate “waterside edge” – for example, alongside stones or at the edge of planting baskets. In practice, the plant often gets off to an especially good start if first placed at 0 to –5 cm and later (if desired) set deeper to –15 cm.

Only healthy, clean leaves should be harvested for culinary use and washed thoroughly before use. Only use plants from controlled cultivation and not from ponds with fish medications, fertiliser residues or unknown water quality.

Dwarf water lily – Nymphaea Pygmaea Alba (18cm)

Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’ – dwarf water lily white-yellowThe dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’, with its white-yellow flowers, adds a calm, elegant touch to the water’s surface. Its compact growth habit makes it particularly suitable for smaller garden ponds or basins where a classic water lily would be too vigorous. Ideal if you want a delicate floral effect without the pond looking ‘overgrown’.Dwarf water lily – suitable for smaller pondsFlower colour: white-yellowGrowth: compact, with a modest foliage and flower displaySuitable for: garden pond, mini-pond, pots/basins (depending on setup)Technical dataBotanical name: Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’Common name: dwarf water lilyFlower colour: white-yellowPlanting depth: between -10 and -40cmFlowering period: from June to September\nPot size: approx. 18 cmWith the dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’, you can create particularly stylish water features – even if your garden pond is rather small or you wish to plant in a mini-pond . Dwarf water lilies are made to create the typical water lily effect in a limited space: the leaves float on the surface, whilst the delicate water lilies appear.The ‘Alba’ variety impresses with a white-yellow flower colour, which has a very calming effect and can be easily combined with various pond and marginal plants.\n\nPlant selection is especially critical in small ponds: overly vigorous water lilies can quickly dominate the surface. The dwarf water lily stays comparatively more compact and is therefore very well suited if you wish to keep the water surface deliberately open. At the same time, water lilies create a pleasant pond atmosphere: the flowers draw the eye to the water, and the floating leaves give the pond a natural ‘centre’.\n\nFor good establishment, stable placement is important – ideally in a planting basket or a suitable container, so that the substrate and rhizome are secure and you can adjust the position if necessary.If you are looking for a subtle, high-quality flowering effect and would like to opt for a compact water lily, Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’ is a suitable choice for a neat, natural-looking pond design. Note on shipping: We do our utmost to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may occasionally be slightly damaged during postal delivery or due to other unforeseen circumstances. This includes brown leaves as well as snapped stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: With dwarf water lilies, it is worth placing the plant a little higher to start with and then lowering it later if necessary – this usually helps it to grow more quickly. If you are planting in a pot/mini-pond, ensure that the water lily gets enough sun and is not shaded by marginal plants.
