Creeping Mazus for the garden pond - Mazus reptans blue


Mazus reptans blue is a low-growing ground cover that quickly green up damp areas around the edge of a garden pond. The white flowers appear from April to September (IV-IX) and provide a neat, fresh look for a long time. Thanks to zone 1-2, the plant is suitable for perennial planting.


  • Flowering time: IV-IX (April to September)
  • Flower colour: blue
  • Winter hardiness: Zone 1 - 2
  • Pot: approx. 9 cm


Plant specifications

  • They quickly close gaps at the edge of the pond and create a natural, soft transition between the water and the garden.
  • The long flowering period IV-IX keeps the border attractive for many months.
  • The low, creeping growth looks neat and helps to reduce open soil in moist areas.


Technical data:

  • Botanical name: Mazus reptans (blue)
  • German name: Creeping Mazus
  • Height: 10 - 15 cm
  • Planting depth: Bank zone
  • Flowering time: VI-IX
  • Winter hardiness: Zone 1/2


Mazus reptans blue is a reliable ground cover for moist locations - ideal for landscaping around the garden pond. Small gaps often appear along the edges of banks, in the swamp zone or along streams where open soil remains visible. Here, creeping Mazus provides a natural finish: it grows flat, visually connects different planting areas and makes the transition from water to garden appear much softer.

A particular advantage is the long flowering period from April to September (IV-IX). This means that Mazus reptans brings bright accents to the border for many months and at the same time looks well-groomed without you having to constantly replant or mend. The white flowers go well with practically any pond design - whether natural or more modern - and can be combined well with taller waterside plants. This makes the Mazus particularly suitable as a "carpet" in the foreground, while structure-giving pond plants round off the picture behind it.

For placement by the garden pond, we recommend a location that remains evenly moist. Place the Mazus where you want a dense border - for example at the edge of the pond, between stones or at the edge of stepping stones. This not only keeps the bank zone visually calmer, it also looks more stable and less "torn up". As there is no information on height, planting depth and pot size, these points remain neutral; in practice, a moist, suitable location at the edge is particularly important.


Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged by 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: Plant Mazus reptans white at the edge of the pond where you want to break up "hard edges" - e.g. between stones or along the edge of the liner. If the location becomes drier at times in summer, a thin layer of fine gravel or mulch at the edge will help to keep the soil moist for longer.

Marsh forget-me-not (9cm) - Myosotis palustris
Myosotis palustris - marsh forget-me-not pond edgeMyosotis palustris is a tried-and-tested pond edge plant for damp banks and the swamp zone. It brings a long flowering period to the pond design from May to August (V-VIII) and remains pleasantly compact at 20-40 cm tall. It is hardy in zones 1-2.Area of application: Pond edge / swamp zone / moist border bedsFlowering time: V-VIII (May to August)Flower colour: shades of blueHeight: approx. 20-40 cmWinter hardiness: Zone 1-2Pot: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications:They quickly green up damp pond edges and create a natural, soft transition from the water to the garden.The long flowering period V-VIII means that the edge zone remains attractive for months.Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, the marsh forget-me-not is suitable for perennial garden pond planting. Technical data:Botanical name: Myosotis palustrisGerman name: marsh forget-me-notHeight: 20 / 40 cmPlanting depth: not specifiedFlowering time: V-VIIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1-2Pot: approx. 9 cmMyosotis palustris (marsh forget-me-not) is a classic plant for the bank and marsh zone around the garden pond. It is ideal if you want to create a natural, gentle transition between the water surface and the garden. The marsh forget-me-not really comes into its own in damp areas where many bedding plants struggle: It looks light, friendly and blends harmoniously into mixed pond edge plantings. One major advantage is the long flowering period from May to August (V-VIII). This means that the edge zone remains lively and visually attractive for months.With a height of approx. 20 to 40 cm, the plant is particularly suitable for the foreground at the edge of the pond or as a filling element between stones, stepping stones and other shore plants. Planted in small groups, it creates a calm, flat effect that quickly looks natural and reliably closes gaps. Myosotis palustris is particularly interesting for pond design if you want a planting that is not too tall and does not obscure the view of the water. Place the plant in evenly moist soil at the edge or in the swamp zone - there it can establish itself well.The pot (approx. 18 cm) provides a solid starting volume and makes it easier to place in the desired location. If you prefer a clear edge to the pond, a plant basket can be useful to keep the plant where it will look best. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, the marsh forget-me-not is suitable for permanent garden ponds and is an uncomplicated addition to near-natural bank plantings.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: For a particularly natural look, place the marsh forget-me-not in small groups along the shoreline. If you are unsure how wet the location should be: place the plant on the wet edge first (not too deep in the water) - this makes it easy to find the perfect area by the garden pond.

English water mint (9cm) - Preslia cervina 'Alba'
Valeriana officinalis – Valerian for pond edge & bank zoneValeriana officinalis (valerian) is a stately, natural-looking perennial for moist areas around the garden pond. With 60–100 cm height, it adds structure to the bank 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. 9cmPlant specifications:You receive a robust waterside perennial that naturally enhances the pond edge and adds height to the planting.Due to the long flowering period V–VIII, the edge zone remains attractive and appears well-groomed for months.Thanks to planting depth 0 to –15 cm, valerian can be flexibly placed in moist border areas and very shallow zones.Technical data:Botanical name: Valeriana officinalisEnglish 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 are choosing a waterside perennial for the garden pond that looks particularly natural and gives the edge planting noticeably more height and depth. Especially with ponds, a “shallow” impression is quickly created if only low plants are standing in the marginal area. Valerian creates a beautiful counterpoint here: it grows upright, brings volume to the bank zone and can be combined excellently with lower pond edge plants that soften the transition to the water in the foreground.The flowering period from May to August (V–VIII) ensures that the pond edge appears lively for much of the season. As there is no indication of flower colour, this point remains neutral – in the garden, however, the overall effect of height, structure and flowering period is often the focus for valerian anyway. With a growth height of approx. 60 to 100 cm, the plant is ideal for the middle to background of the bank planting or for moist border beds next to the pond.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Valeriana officinalis flexible in use: place it in moist bank soil or in very shallow areas, depending on pond layout. Especially if the water level fluctuates, it is advisable to place the plant so that it permanently receives enough moisture without being “too deep”.The 9-cm pot is ideal if you wish to plant several plants, to achieve a natural, full covering more quickly. Thanks to zone 1–2, valerian is suitable for perennial pond installations in many regions and is a good choice if you want to design the pond edge in a natural, low-maintenance way and with noticeable structure.Shipping 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 by postal transit or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: If you want a natural bank look, do not plant valerian individually, but in small groups (e.g. 3 pieces) slightly staggered behind lower marginal plants. This way, the pond edge appears deeper and more “grown”, and the taller stems are more stable in the overall picture.

English water mint (9cm) - Preslia cervina 'Alba'
Veronica beccabunga - Brook's tongue for pond edges & banksVeronica beccabunga (brooklime) is a low-growing pond edge plant for damp banks and the shallow water zone. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to -15 cm and remains pleasantly compact at a height of 10-20 cm. It flowers from May to September (V-IX).Flowering time: V-IX (May to September)Winter hardiness/zone: Zone 1-2Height: approx. 10-20 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications:They give the edge of the pond and stream a soft and natural look without obscuring the view of the water. Thanks to the long flowering period V-IX, the border remains alive for many weeks.With a zone 1-2 rating, the brook lily is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Veronica beccabungaGerman name: BrooklimeFlowering time: V-IXWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Height: approx. 10-20 cmPlanting depth: 0 to -15 cmVeronica beccabunga (brooklime) is a compact, natural-looking plant for garden ponds, streams and damp banks. The edges of ponds in particular often have transitions that quickly appear "hard" - such as stones, film edges or between plant baskets. Bachbunge helps to visually connect these areas: It grows low, looks calm and provides a natural finish without overloading the edge of the pond.A major advantage is the long flowering period from May to September (V-IX). This means that the border remains attractive and neat for much of the season. Due to its low growth height of approx. 10 to 20 cm, Veronica beccabunga fits particularly well in the foreground of the bank planting or as a "filler plant" in the shallow water zone. It can be combined excellently with taller structural plants, which can be placed behind it, while the brook brome in the foreground visually softens the edge.The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes the plant very flexible: place it directly in moist bank soil or in a very shallow water area, depending on the pond structure. A plant basket is often helpful for a neat pond edge and easy maintenance, especially if you want to move the plant later. An evenly moist location is particularly important for growth. Thanks to zone 1-2, Veronica beccabunga is suitable for perennial pond installations and is a good choice if you are looking for a low, uncomplicated plant for damp areas that blends harmoniously into a naturalistic pond design.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 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: Place the brook lily along the shoreline where you want to close gaps - it looks particularly natural when it "grows in" between stones. In very shallow areas (down to -15 cm), a plant basket is practical so that the plant is stable and you can keep the design neatly under control.

The bright red flowers make it the ideal eye-catcher around the garden pond - especially where many green and yellow tones dominate and a clear accent is desired. Due to its growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, it adds structure to the bank planting and is ideal as a background plant, in front of which lower ground cover and shallow water plants come into their own.The specified flowering period from May to August (V-VIII) ensures that your pond edge will look lively for a long time. For a harmonious overall look, we recommend planting in small groups or as a recurring element along the shoreline. This creates a natural, well thought-out design without the pond edge becoming unruly. The cardinal lobelia looks particularly attractive when the flowers are slightly above the waterline - the colour is reflected in the water and enhances the effect.With a recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm, Lobelia cardinalis is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone. Depending on the pond structure, place the plant directly in moist bank soil or in a very shallow water area. A plant basket can help to keep the position stable and make it easier to move the plant if necessary - especially if you want to adapt the design seasonally. Thanks to zone 1-2, the cardinal lobelia is suitable for many regions and is an exciting choice if you want to create a permanent pond edge but still want to work with clear colour accents.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 place Lobelia cardinalis in the shallow water zone so that the roots are evenly moist (0 to -15 cm) - this ensures stable growth. For a particularly attractive look, place the plant where it can be reflected in the water and combine it in the foreground with low ground cover plants at the edge of the pond.

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.

If you want a very neat pond edge, use a plant basket so that the plant stays exactly where you want it.

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.

If the plant is still small at first, start out higher (shallower) and lower them later – this often encourages quicker growth and flowering.

It visually enhances the bank zone without completely covering the pond. The stated flowering period from May to July (V–VII) complements the season, although in this plant, the leaf and growth form are usually the main focus. When planted in small groups, a calm, architectural effect is created; individually positioned, the Cyprus grass forms a clear focal point. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant ideal for the bank and shallow water zone. You can plant it directly in moist bank soil or place it in a very shallow water area.With delivery in an 18-cm pot, you get good root volume, making establishment easier and ensuring greater stability . For a neat pond edge and maximum control, a planting basket is a practical option – this keeps the plant where it works best, and can be easily moved as needed.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can occur that plants are slightly damaged through postal shipping or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We do not accept liability for this. Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Place Cyperus alternifolius so that the ‘umbrellas’ are clearly visible at eye level – it looks best when it is slightly reflected in the water. For a tidy pond edge, position the pot or basket at a 0 to –15 cm depth and combine a low groundcover in front so that the transition looks natural.

Veronica beccabunga - Brook's tongue for pond edges & banksVeronica beccabunga (brooklime) is a low-growing pond edge plant for damp banks and the shallow water zone. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to -15 cm and remains pleasantly compact at a height of 10-20 cm. It flowers from May to September (V-IX).Flowering time: V-IX (May to September)Winter hardiness/zone: Zone 1-2Height: approx. 10-20 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications:They give the edge of the pond and stream a soft and natural look without obscuring the view of the water. Thanks to the long flowering period V-IX, the border remains alive for many weeks.With a zone 1-2 rating, the brook lily is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Veronica beccabungaGerman name: BrooklimeFlowering time: V-IXWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Height: approx. 10-20 cmPlanting depth: 0 to -15 cmVeronica beccabunga (brooklime) is a compact, natural-looking plant for garden ponds, streams and damp banks. The edges of ponds in particular often have transitions that quickly appear "hard" - such as stones, film edges or between plant baskets. Bachbunge helps to visually connect these areas: It grows low, looks calm and provides a natural finish without overloading the edge of the pond.A major advantage is the long flowering period from May to September (V-IX). This means that the border remains attractive and neat for much of the season. Due to its low growth height of approx. 10 to 20 cm, Veronica beccabunga fits particularly well in the foreground of the bank planting or as a "filler plant" in the shallow water zone. It can be combined excellently with taller structural plants, which can be placed behind it, while the brook brome in the foreground visually softens the edge.The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes the plant very flexible: place it directly in moist bank soil or in a very shallow water area, depending on the pond structure. A plant basket is often helpful for a neat pond edge and easy maintenance, especially if you want to move the plant later. An evenly moist location is particularly important for growth. Thanks to zone 1-2, Veronica beccabunga is suitable for perennial pond installations and is a good choice if you are looking for a low, uncomplicated plant for damp areas that blends harmoniously into a naturalistic pond design.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 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: Place the brook lily along the shoreline where you want to close gaps - it looks particularly natural when it "grows in" between stones. In very shallow areas (down to -15 cm), a plant basket is practical so that the plant is stable and you can keep the design neatly under control.

English water mint (9cm) - Preslia cervina 'Alba'
Eriophorum angustifolium - Cottongrass for pond edgesEriophorum angustifolium (cotton grass) brings a light, natural effect to the garden pond with its white flowers from April to June (IV-VI). At a height of 30-40 cm, it is ideal for bank and shallow water zones. The recommended planting depth is 0 to -15 cm and the plant is hardy in zones 1-2.Flower colour: whiteFlowering time: IV-VI (April to June)Height: approx. 30-40 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications: They create a particularly natural-looking pond edge and bring an airy, "meadow-like" structure to the bank zone.The flowering period IV-VI provides bright accents in spring, which look particularly good by the water.Thanks to zone 1-2, cotton grass is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Eriophorum angustifoliumGerman name: Cotton grassHeight (cm): 30 / 40 cmPlanting depth: 0 / -15 cmWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmEriophorum angustifolium (cottongrass) is a plant that creates a particularly natural, light effect in the garden pond. Cottongrass is an excellent choice for ponds that are designed to be close to nature or deliberately have a soft shoreline. Its grass-like growth brings structure to the edge zone without appearing heavy or dominant - ideal if you want to keep the water surface visually open. The white flowers appear from April to June (IV-VI) and create bright accents early in the year. This flower is particularly attractive by the water because it reflects beautifully on a calm surface and "brightens up" the shoreline. With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm , cotton grass is perfect for the foreground to middle ground: it combines well with lower ground cover plants and also looks harmonious next to taller shore plants that can be placed in the background. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes Eriophorum angustifolium ideal for the shore and shallow water edge zone. Place the plant in moist bank soil or in a very shallow water area.If you prefer a clear pond edge or want to keep the position flexible later on, a plant basket is a practical solution - this keeps the plant exactly where it looks best. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2 , cotton grass is suitable for many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for perennial pond edge planting. It looks particularly attractive if you plant several plants slightly staggered - this creates a natural bank effect that harmonises the look of the pond.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: Cottongrass looks best when placed in small groups in the edge zone (0 to -15 cm) and combined with quieter green plants. If your water level fluctuates, place the pot a little higher at first and lower it gradually as it grows - the plant will usually take off more reliably this way.

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.
