Technical data

  • Botanical name: Preslia cervina 'Alba'
  • German name: English water mint
  • Flowering time: VII-IX
  • Winter hardiness: Zone 1-2
  • Height: 30 / 40 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 / -15 cm
  • Pot: approx. 18 cm


With Preslia cervina 'Alba', you are choosing an elegant pond edge plant that impresses above all with its white flowers and compact growth. There are often areas around the garden pond that are evenly moist and need a plant that gives the edge a natural look without becoming too tall. This is exactly what English water mint is suitable for: it brings structure to the bank zone and ensures a neat, flowering overall appearance in the second half of summer. The flowering period from July to September (VII-IX) is particularly valuable when many spring and early summer bloomers are already fading. This keeps your pond edge attractive for longer and gives it a lively appearance even at the height of the season.

With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm, Preslia cervina 'Alba' can be used in a variety of ways: as a quiet border, as a filling plant between stones and edges or as a companion to higher-growing shore plants. Planted in groups, it creates a harmonious area that visually softens the transition between water and garden.

The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes it suitable for the bank and shallow water zone. Depending on the pond structure, you can either place the plant directly in moist soil around the edge or slightly into the water, where it will stand securely. The 18 cm pot is particularly practical as it already has a good volume and makes it easier to place in the pond. If you want a very clear pond edge or want to keep the plant in check, a plant basket is a good option - this keeps everything tidy and you can adjust the position at any time. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Preslia cervina 'Alba' is suitable for permanent garden ponds and is a harmonious choice if you are looking for a reliable, compact flowering plant for the edge 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 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: If you want a "clean line" at the edge of the pond, put Preslia cervina 'Alba' in a plant basket and place it in the shallow water zone (up to approx. -15 cm). This keeps the plant where it works best - and you can easily move it around if necessary.

Dwarf water lily - Nymphaea pygmaea rubra

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.

Around ponds in particular, it is often important to use plants that not only flower but also structure and visually calm the edge area. Carex riparia provides precisely this calm, natural effect: it is stable, looks tidy and is suitable for both near-natural pond systems and clearly designed shorelines.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, the sedge is ideal for the centre to background. It forms a green backdrop against which lower marginal plants and flowering plants are shown to their best advantage. At the same time, it helps to visually embed technical elements such as film edges or plant baskets.The flowering period from June to July (VI-VII) complements the season, with sedges usually focussing on the structural effect of their leaves and growth form. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes Carex riparia perfect for the edge and shallow water zone. It can be planted directly in moist bank soil or placed in very shallow water - depending on the pond structure and desired effect.Supplied in an 18 cm pot , you get a well-developed plant with a solid root volume, which makes it easier to grow and ensures greater stability. If you want to keep the edge of the pond particularly clean, a plant basket is a practical option: this keeps the sedge where it looks best and can be easily moved if necessary.Thanks to zone 1-2, Carex riparia is suitable for perennial pond planting in many regions and is a reliable choice if you want to combine structure and naturalness in your garden pond.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.

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 leaves are arranged like umbrellas and visually resemble small palm fronds – this creates a clear yet natural shape that immediately upgrades pond edges. Especially when many softly growing plants are 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 the background of bankside planting. It can visually “frame” pond edges without completely covering the water. It is particularly harmonious in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank – this creates a natural rhythm that makes the pond appear cast from a single mould. The flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII) complements the season; however, the focus with this plant is usually on the attractive leaf structure.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the palm frond sedge suitable for the bankside and shallow water zone. Plant it in moist bankside soil or place it in a very shallow water area – depending on how your pond is constructed.Thanks to zone 1–2, Carex muskingumensis is suitable for perennial pond installations in many regions and is an easy-care choice if you want to combine structure, height and a natural appearance.Note on dispatch: We do our utmost to ensure that our plants reach you healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it may happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal dispatch 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: Place the palm frond sedge so that it “frames the pond” from your main viewing axis – for example, to the left and right of a seating area with a view of the water. At a depth of 0 to –15 cm it looks particularly natural, and in the plant basket the form remains clean and can be corrected at any time.

On pond edges in particular, it is helpful to use plants that not only bloom sporadically but also create a calm, natural line through their growth habit. Sedges are particularly suitable for this: they look well-groomed, can be combined in many ways and bring stability to the edge planting.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex panacea is ideal for the centre to background of the bank planting. It can serve as a green frame that structures the edge of the pond, while lower ground cover and flowering shallow water plants in the foreground soften the transition to the water. The flowering period from June to July (VI-VII) falls in the early summer phase and complements the course of the season, even if the foliage and structural effect is usually the focus with sedges.The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes the plant flexible to use: directly in moist bank soil or in a very shallow water area. Depending on the pond structure, you can decide whether the sedge should act more as a marginal plant or as a shallow water element.The 9 cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to place several plants to quickly create an even, natural shoreline. For a neat pond edge and better control, a planting basket can be useful - this keeps the plant stable and makes it easier to move if necessary. Thanks to zone 1-2, Carex panacea is hardy and therefore well suited to perennial pond installations. A good choice if you are looking for a quiet, low-maintenance structural plant for your garden pond that blends harmoniously into near-natural bank designs.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's best to plant sedges in small groups at the edge of the pond, slightly staggered rather than in a straight line - this gives the bank zone a more natural look. If you want to keep the edge very neat, place Carex panacea in the plant basket at a depth of 0 to -15 cm and combine a low ground cover at the front for a soft finish.

Plants that provide structure, soften the transition between water and garden and at the same time have a reliable effect throughout the season are particularly in demand at the edge of the pond. This English water mint fulfils precisely this task: at approx. 30 to 40 cm, it remains pleasantly low and can therefore be integrated into existing pond plantings in a variety of ways.A particular advantage is the flowering period from July to September (VII-IX). During this phase, many pond owners want additional colour accents, as early bloomers are already fading. The pink flowers then add a lively yet harmonious touch to the pond - ideal if you prefer a natural look and don't want the edge to be too restless.Preslia cervina is well suited to group plantings, but also works well on its own as a colourful accent between stones, along a stream or along the edge of a pond. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes the plant suitable for the area directly at the edge or standing slightly in the water. Depending on the pond structure, place Preslia cervina in moist soil or in a stable position in the shallow water zone. The 18 cm pot provides a good volume for this and makes planting easier. If you want to keep the planting particularly tidy or flexibly adjust the position later, a plant basket is recommended - this keeps the plant exactly where it looks best. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Preslia cervina is suitable for permanent garden ponds and is an easy-care addition for seasonal pond edging.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 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 Preslia cervina in the best spot where you can see it from your seat: In the shallow water zone down to -15 cm, flowers look particularly attractive because they are reflected in the water. A planting basket is ideal for a clean pond edge - this keeps the plant under control and makes it easy to move if necessary.
