Technical data:
- Botanical name: Eriophorum angustifolium

With 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.

Arum italicum (9cm) - Arum italicum
CHF 7.90
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’
CHF 7.90
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.
Spiral rush (9 cm) – Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’
CHF 7.90
Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’
– Corkscrew rush Pond edge & bankJuncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ is an extraordinary pond-edge plant with twisted, corkscrew-like stems, which immediately adds structure and interest to the bank zone. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, making it ideal for the pond edge or very shallow areas. With approx. 40–60 cm height, it remains present without obscuring the view of the water.Growth habit: corkscrew-like twisted stemsArea of use: Pond edge / Bank zone / Shallow water zoneHeight: approx. 40–60 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmSpecifications for the plant:You create a clear design accent at the pond edge, as the twisted stems stand out even without flowersThanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the corkscrew rush can be placed flexibly in bank and shallow water zones.With Zone 1–2, it is suitable for perennial garden ponds and remains easy to care for.Technical data:Botanical name: Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’Common name: Corkscrew rushHeight (cm): 40 / 60 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ (Corkscrew rush) you bring a pond-edge plant into the garden that does not impress primarily through its flowers, but through its unique growth habit. The twisted, spiral-shaped stems create an exciting structure and set targeted accents at the garden pond – especially where you want a clear line or a modern contrast to softly growing bank plants. This makes ‘Spiralis’ suitable for both natural-looking ponds and clearly designed features where form and structure take centre stage.With a height of approx. 40 to 60 cm, the corkscrew rush is ideal for the middle ground of the bank planting. It is tall enough to be visible, but remains so compact that the water surface is not completely obscured. It is particularly attractive in small groups or as a recurring element along the pond edge, where the twisted stems create a calm, graphic pattern.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant very flexible: plant it in moist bank soil or place it in very shallow water. For a clean, controllable pond design, a planting basket is often practical – especially as the position at the pond edge can be easily adjusted.The 9 cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several specimens to achieve a uniform structural effect.
Thanks to Zone 1–2, Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ is winter-hardy and suitable for perennial pond installations. An ideal choice if you want to create your garden pond not only “green”, but also deliberately designed with form and structure.Note on shipping: 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 during 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 water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip:
Place the corkscrew rush where it can be reflected in the water – then the spiral shape is particularly effective. If you want a very neat edge, place it in a planting basket at a depth of 0 to –15 cm: this way, the shape stays in the right place and you can easily move the plant if required.

The variegated calamus is ideal for visually calming the transition between the water surface and the garden: It looks natural, but remains compact and controllable. This plant is a particularly harmonious choice in places where you want clean lines - for example along pond edges, in shallow bays or in small shoreline areas.The ideal place is in the shore to shallow water zone. The specified planting depth of 0 to -15 cm allows for flexible use: directly on the moist edge or standing slightly in the water. Thanks to its height of approx. 20 to 30 cm, the calamus remains pleasantly low so that it does not obstruct the view of the water surface. At the same time, it provides structure between higher-growing bank plants and lower ground cover plants.The variegated calamus is particularly valuable in pond design because it combines well with many other pond and marsh plants. It is suitable for both naturalistic planting schemes and more modern pond designs that emphasise clear shapes and calm areas. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, it is also suitable for perennial pond edge planting.
The plant is supplied in a pot (approx. 10 cm). For easy handling around the pond, we recommend using it in a plant basket - depending on the structure - so that the location remains stable and you can easily move the plant if necessary.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 (e.g. brown leaves or broken shoots). We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo Roco tip: Place the variegated calamus in the most beautiful spot where you walk past it every day: It looks particularly elegant when planted in small groups and its fine leaves are reflected in the water. For more control, we recommend using a planting basket - this will keep the edges neat and you can easily divide or reposition the plant later.
Dwarf water lily – Nymphaea Pygmaea Rubra
CHF 35.00
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.

Unlike traditional aquatic plants, it does not belong in the water, but thrives particularly well at the pond’s edge in moist, humus-rich soil. Precisely where the soil receives regular moisture but is not permanently flooded, it can establish itself well and enhance the visual transition between the bank and the garden.A semi-shaded spot is ideal, for example at the edge of a copse near a pond or in a waterside planting scheme with perennials and ferns. Ensure the soil is well-drained and free from waterlogging. During dry spells, regular watering helps to ensure the plant remains evenly supplied with moisture. If Bketilla is grown in a pot, good drainage is essential; in winter, a sheltered spot may be advisable.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged.

A small distance from the water’s edge prevents the roots from being permanently waterlogged – this is the most common reason why perennials planted near a pond fail to thrive.

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.

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.

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.

Pot 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 designed to create the classic water lily effect in a limited space: the leaves float on the surface, whilst the delicate water lilies emerge from them.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 border plants.
The choice of plants is particularly crucial in smaller ponds: water lilies that grow too vigorously can quickly dominate the surface. The dwarf water lily remains comparatively more compact and is therefore ideal if you want to keep the water’s 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’.
For good establishment, a stable position is important – ideally in a planting basket or a suitable container, so that the substrate and rhizome are securely in place and you can adjust the position if necessary.If you’re looking for subtle, high-quality blooms and want to opt for a compact water lily, Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’ is a suitable choice for a well-maintained, natural-looking pond design.

If you’re planting in a pot/mini-pond, make sure the water lily gets enough sun and isn’t shaded by plants around the edge.

Lysimachia Nummularia
CHF 6.50
Lysimachia Nummularia
Lysimachia Nummularia is a second level aquarium plant that does well in emersed (above water) form. Easy to grow and tolerant of requirements.Difficult to grow: moderately demandingLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: mediumOutgrown plant height: up to 60 cmGrowth: fastTemperature: 15-26 °Placement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: EuropeCup diameter: 6 cmLysimachia Nummularia (Sedentary Lysimachia), is an aquatic plant that spreads easily on the bottom when it inhabits the banks of ponds and pools. It has a weakly branched structure. The roots grow in clumps or singly near the round, heart-shaped leaves. If well cared for and not pruned, it can bloom above the surface of the aquarium with yellow flowers.It grows quickly if you provide it with a loamy, sandy substrate along with good light and provide it with enough CO₂ gas fertilizer. Low temperatures don't bother her, but at higher temperatures her growth accelerates considerably, so she can be difficult to control. It prefers soft and slightly acidic water in the aquarium. It feels comfortable at a pH of 6-8.
In order to have distinctive, heart-shaped leaves with an intense green color, it requires lots of nitrogen. A nitrogen deficiency will cause the plant to restrict its growth and not climb as much. It is therefore advisable to fertilize it regularly with nitrogenous products and to plant it in aquariums with lots of fish. The hedgehog tree generally grows vertically, without forming too many branches.It grows well in an aquarium with tropical fish, but also in cold biotopes of European waters or on the banks of ponds.
Propagation is very simple: just cut the top shoot of the plant and plant it in the substrate, where it will take root. You will achieve the best decorative effect if you plant the plant in small groups of 15-20 specimens. If the shoots are not cut off when it reaches the water table, the plant will continue to grow into an emerse form.
Its green-yellow color stands out well against other plants in the aquarium. Lysimachia does well in a hydroponic filter, from which it grows out and forms a green waterfall of leaves that flows into the aquarium. It can also be used in humid terrariums, paludariums or gardens. In a well-lit and regularly sprayed "garden in a jar", it also pleases our eyes with its delicate appearance and rich green color.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 3-4 cm lumps and then place them in the substrate..

The leaves are arranged like umbrellas and visually resemble small palm fronds – creating a clear, yet still natural, shape, instantly enhancing pond edges. Especially where there are many soft-growing plants around the pond, this sedge provides a calm counterpoint and brings order to the overall picture.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex muskingumensis is ideal for the middle to background of the shoreline planting. It can visually “frame” pond edges without completely covering the water surface. It is particularly harmonious in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank – this creates a natural rhythm that makes the pond look as if it were all of a piece. The flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII) complements the seasonal cycle; for this plant, however, the attractive leaf structure is usually the main focus.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the palm-leaf sedge suitable for the shore and shallow water zone. Plant it in moist bank soil or place it in a very shallow water area – depending on how your pond is laid out.The delivery in an 18-cm pot makes planting easier and gives the plant a good root volume for a secure start. If you prefer a tidy, easily controlled pond edge, a planting basket is a practical solution: this keeps the plant stable in the desired place and makes it easy to move if necessary.Thanks to zone 1–2, Carex muskingumensis is suitable for perennial pond installations in many regions and is a low-maintenance choice if you want to combine structure, height and a natural appearance.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged during postal shipping or other unforeseen events. These include brown leaves as well as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.
Zoo-Roco tip:
Plant the palm-leaf sedge so that from your main viewing axis it “frames the pond” – for example, on the left and right of a seating area view of the water. At a depth of 0 to –15 cm it looks especially natural, and in a planting basket its shape stays neat and can be corrected at any time.
Valerian (9 cm) – Valeriana officinalis
CHF 7.90
Valeriana officinalis – Valerian for pond edge & shoreline zoneValeriana officinalis (valerian) is a stately, natural-looking perennial for moist areas around the garden pond. With a height of 60–100 cm, it adds structure to the shoreline zone without appearing artificial. The flowering period is from May to August (V–VIII), it is suitable for 0 to –15 cm planting depth and hardy in zone 1–2.Flowering period: V–VIII (May to August)Height: approx. 60–100 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications:You receive a robust shoreline perennial that naturally enhances the pond edge and brings height to the planting.Due to the long flowering period V–VIII, the shoreline zone remains attractive for months and looks well-maintained.Thanks to the planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, valerian can be flexibly placed in moist boundary areas and very shallow zones.Technical data:Botanical name: Valeriana officinalisCommon name: ValerianHeight (cm): 60 / 100 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: V–VIIIWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Valeriana officinalis (valerian) you choose at the garden pond a shoreline perennial that appears especially natural and gives the border planting noticeably more height and depth. Especially with ponds, a “flat” impression can quickly arise if only low plants are present in the border area. Valerian creates a beautiful contrast here: it grows upright, adds volume to the shoreline zone and can be excellently combined with lower pond edge plants, which in the foreground gently soften the transition to the water.The flowering period from May to August (V–VIII) ensures that the pond edge looks lively for much of the season. As there is no information on flower colour, this point remains neutral – in the garden image, however, the overall effect of height, structure and flowering period is often the main focus with valerian. With a growth height of approx. 60 to 100 cm, the plant is ideal for the middle to background of the shoreline planting or for moist border beds next to the pond.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Valeriana officinalis versatile: Plant it in moist shoreline soil or in very shallow areas, depending on pond structure. Especially with fluctuating water levels, it is advisable to place the plant so that it always gets enough moisture without “standing too deep”.The 9 cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several specimens, to achieve a natural, expansive appearance more quickly.
Thanks to zone 1–2, valerian is suitable for perennial pond setups in many regions and is a good choice if you want to design the pond edge to be natural, easy to care for, and with distinct structure.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive 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 stems. We assume no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip:
If you want a natural shoreline look, do not plant valerian individually, but in small groups (e.g. 3 plants) slightly staggered behind lower border plants. This makes the pond edge appear deeper and more “seasoned”, and the taller stems stand more stably in the overall impression.
