Technical data:
- Botanical name: Mazus reptans (blue)

- 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
CHF 7.90
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.
Cotton grass (9 cm) – Eriophorum angustifolium
CHF 7.90
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.
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.
Marsh cranesbill (9 cm) – Geranium palustre
CHF 7.90
Geranium palustre
– Marsh cranesbill for the pond edgeGeranium palustre is a robust perennial for damp pond edges and the shallow water margin. Reaching 30–40 cm in height, it remains compact and is ideal for the foreground along the shoreline. The flowering period is from June to August (VI–VIII), it is suitable for planting depths from 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zones 1–2.Flowering period: VI–VIII (June to August)Height: approx. 30–40 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9cmProduct specifications:They naturally green the pond edge and create a gentle transition between water and garden.The flowering period VI–VIII provides a vibrant highlight in the bank area during the peak season.Thanks to the planting depth 0 to –15 cm, you can place the plant flexibly at the damp edge or in very shallow water.Technical specifications:Botanical name: Geranium palustre (often also listed as Geranium palustris)Common name: Marsh cranesbillHeight (cm): 30 / 40 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: VI–VIIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Geranium palustre (marsh cranesbill) you are choosing a perennial that is particularly well suited for damp locations around the garden pond. Zones often develop at the edge of the pond that remain consistently fresh to damp – and this is exactly where marsh cranesbill achieves a natural, calming effect. It closes gaps, visually connects different planting areas and makes the transition between water and garden appear softer.With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm, the plant remains pleasantly compact. This makes it ideal for the foreground of riverside planting, along stones, edges or stepping stones. Geranium palustre is especially harmonious in small groups: this creates a broad, “natural” look that does not crowd the pond edge and leaves the water surface visible. The flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII) is during the peak season – perfect for keeping the marginal zone looking lively and well-kept in summer. The suggested planting depth of 0 to –15 cm allows for flexible placement. Depending on the pond structure, you can plant the marsh cranesbill directly in moist bank soil or place it right at the very shallow edge. The 9-cm pot is especially suitable if you want to plant several at once, so as to quickly achieve a uniform marginal effect. For a controlled, neat pond edge, a planting basket can be helpful – this means the plant stays where it looks best, and you can easily move it if needed.Thanks to zone 1–2, Geranium palustre is winter-hardy and is therefore a good choice for perennial pond schemes. If you are looking for a low-maintenance, compact perennial for the pond edge that combines well and adds extra vibrancy in summer, this marsh cranesbill makes a suitable addition. Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, plants may suffer minor damage in the post or due to other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Plant Geranium palustre at the pond edge as a “link plant” between taller riverside perennials and low groundcovers. At a depth of 0 to –15 cm (or in damp bank soil) it establishes particularly harmoniously – and in small groups, the edge immediately appears more natural.
Limnobium laevigatum In-Vitro
CHF 10.20
Limnobium laevigatum In-Vitro - a dainty floating plant
Limnobium laevigatum is a dainty floating plant for open aquariums and for the garden pond or water trough. However, this South American plant is not hardy and therefore, needs to be overwintered in a warm place. In the right conditions, the plants spread quickly and, bit by bit, develop into a dense carpet of plants. Very long root beards can form in places, providing good protection for young fish in the aquarium
Water iris (9 cm) – Iris versicolor
CHF 7.90
Iris versicolor
– Water iris for pond edge & bankIris versicolor is an elegant marginal plant whose upright growth clearly structures the pond edge. With a height of 60–80 cm, it is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone and flowers from May to July (V–VII). It can be planted at a depth of 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zone 1–2.Flowering period: V–VII (May to July)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9cmSpecifications for the plant:They give your garden pond a neat, natural frame and bring height to the bankside planting.The flowering period V–VII provides an attractive seasonal highlight by the water in early to late summer.Thanks to planting depth 0 to –15 cm, the water iris can be placed flexibly in damp edge areas and very shallow zones.Technical data:Botanical name: Iris versicolorGerman name: Water irisHeight (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: V–VIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Iris versicolor (Water iris / Water Iris), you are choosing a classic marginal plant for your garden pond that combines structure and naturalness. Especially at pond edges, an iris with its upright, sword-shaped leaves ensures clear lines: it frames the pond, segments the marginal zone, and makes the transition between water surface and garden visually harmonious.Thanks to the growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm , Iris versicolor is particularly suitable for the mid- to background of pond edge planting, behind lower ground covers or flat-growing marginal plants.
The flowering period from May to July (V–VII) brings the desired seasonal highlight to the pond. This means that in early summer, the marginal area is not only green but also gains a flowering accent that unfolds particularly beautifully by the water. For a harmonious overall appearance, planting in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank is recommended. This creates a calm rhythm that makes the pond appear seamless.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Iris versicolor ideal for damp marginal zones and very shallow areas. Depending on pond construction, place the plant in damp bank earth or position it firmly in the shallow water area. The 9-cm pot is practical if you want to use several plants for a uniform marginal effect. For a neat, manageable pond edge, a planting basket is often a good solution – this keeps the water iris where it works best and allows for easy relocation if necessary.
Thanks to zone 1–2, Iris versicolor is winter-hardy and thus well suited to perennial pond schemes. A solid choice if you wish to establish a long-lasting, beautiful marginal area with clear structure and seasonal flowering at your garden pond.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, minimal damage may occur to plants in the post or through other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent shoots. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip:
Plant Iris versicolor so that the plant is visible from your main vantage point – it looks best when the leaves ‘trace’ the edge and the growth is reflected slightly in the water. If you wish to test the location, start at 0 to –5 cm and lower the plant further to –15 cm if necessary.

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.

This keeps the plants well under control, is easy to care for, and allows them to be easily moved or harvested if necessary. 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.

Thanks to its compact growth habit, it is 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 ‘overcrowded’.Dwarf water lily – suitable for smaller pondsFlower colour: white-yellowGrowth habit: compact, with a modest foliage and flower displaySuitable for: garden pond, mini-pond, pot/tank (depending on the setup)Technical dataBotanical name: Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’Common name: Dwarf water lilyFlower colour: white-yellowPlanting depth: between -10 and -40 cmFlowering period: from June to September
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.
