Technical data

  • Botanical name: Preslia cervina
  • 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, you are choosing a compact, attractive plant for the bank and shallow water zone of your garden pond. 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.

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

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. Despite our utmost care, plants may occasionally sustain minor damage during postal delivery or due to other unforeseen circumstances. This includes brown leaves as well as snapped stems. We accept no liability for this.

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.

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

At 30-40 cm tall, it is ideal for the bank and shallow water zone. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to -15 cm and is hardy in zones 1-2.Area of application: Pond edge / shallow water zoneFlower colour: white Flowering time: VII-IX (July to September)Height: approx. 30-40 cmPlanting depth: 0 to -15 cmWinter hardiness: Zone 1-2Pot: approx. 18 cmPlant specifications:Brings summer-long flowering effect to the pond edge plantingIdeal as a filling marginal plant for natural transitions at the water's edgeWinter-hardy and therefore suitable for perennial pond design (zone 1-2)Technical dataBotanical name: Preslia cervina 'Alba'German name: English water mintFlowering time: VII-IXWinter hardiness: Zone 1-2Height: 30 / 40 cmPlanting depth: 0 / -15 cmPot: approx. 18 cmWith 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.

Such "calming elements" are particularly important around ponds: they bring order to the bank planting, make transitions look more natural and prevent the edge area from appearing visually restless.Thanks to its compact height of approx. 30 to 40 cm, the dwarf rush is ideal for the foreground to midground - where you want structure but want the water surface to remain visible. The dwarf rush can be used very flexibly as it is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to -15 cm. This makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water zone: directly in moist marginal soil or standing slightly in the water.It looks particularly attractive when planted in small groups or as a recurring element along the edge of the pond. This creates a natural rhythm that visually "captures" the pond. The flowering period is from June to August (VI-VIII). Even if the flowers are often not the centre of attention with rushes, the seasonal indication gives you a good orientation for the development over the summer.Due to its hardiness (zone 1-2), Juncus ensifolius is suitable for perennial pond installations and is an easy-care addition to naturalised, permanent shoreline areas. For a clean, controllable pond design, we recommend using it in a plant basket, depending on the design. This ensures that the plant remains stable in the desired position and you can easily move or divide it 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. 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: Use the dwarf rush as a "framing plant": place it along the edge of the pond at a depth of 0 to -15 cm to make transitions between stones, the edge of the liner and higher-growing shore plants appear calmer. The line remains particularly clean and easy to maintain in plant baskets.

Japanese iris is an attractive choice here if you are looking for a plant that provides structure and at the same time creates a seasonal highlight with its flowers.The Japanese iris reaches a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm.

Planted in small groups, it creates a calm, two-dimensional effect; planted individually, it becomes a focal point. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes Iris kaempferi ideal for damp border areas. It can be planted directly in moist bank soil or - depending on the pond structure - positioned in a very shallow area. A planting basket is often practical for a clean, controllable pond edge because the plant is stable and can be repositioned if necessary.Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Japanese iris is suitable for perennial ponds and is a good addition if you want to create a permanent shoreline with clear flower accents.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged.

Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo Roco tip: Place the Japanese iris so that it is clearly visible from your favourite viewing angle - purple flowers look particularly beautiful when they are slightly reflected in the water. Place them at a depth of 0 to -15 cm or in permanently moist soil and combine with low ground cover plants at the front to show the iris to its best advantage.
