English water mint (9cm) - Preslia cervina 'Alba'

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.

Ranunculus flammula - Burning buttercup for pond edgesRanunculus flammula is a low pond edge plant that provides long-lasting colour accents with yellow flowers from May to September (V-IX). At 20-30 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 hardy in zones 1-2.Flower colour: yellowFlowering time: V-IX (May to September)Height: approx. 20-30 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications:You get a compact marginal plant that naturally embeds the pond without obscuring the view of the water.The long flowering period V-IX brings splashes of yellow colour to the bank zone for many weeks.Thanks to the planting depth of 0 to -15 cm, the plant can be placed flexibly at the moist edge or in very shallow water.Technical data:Botanical name: Ranunculus flammulaGerman name: Burning buttercup (also: small marsh buttercup, depending on the name)Height: 20 / 30 cmPlanting depth: 0 / -15 cmFlowering time: V-IXWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmRanunculus flammula (Lesser Spearwort) is a delicate but effective plant for the shore and shallow water zone of your garden pond. Low plants are particularly important at the edge of the pond so that the water surface remains visible and the transition to the surrounding area appears soft. Ranunculus flammula fulfils exactly this task: it remains compact, can be easily placed between stones or along edges and creates a natural, "grown" look. The long flowering period from May to September (V-IX) is particularly attractive. The yellow flowers bring small, friendly accents of colour to the edge of the pond for many weeks - ideal if you want a permanently lively edge zone rather than just selective flowering phases.With a growth height of approx. 20 to 30 cm, the plant is suitable for the foreground: it can close gaps, visually soften edges and create a two-dimensional effect without becoming dominant. Planted in small groups, it creates a calm, natural impression; planted individually, it provides a targeted splash of colour.The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes Ranunculus flammula very flexible. You can plant it in moist bank soil or in very shallow water - depending on how your pond is constructed. The 9 cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to place several plants in order to quickly achieve a cohesive look along the shoreline. For a neat pond edge, a plant basket can be helpful so that the plant is stable and can be easily moved if necessary. Thanks to zone 1-2, Ranunculus flammula is hardy and suitable for perennial pond installations.It is a good choice if you are looking for a low, flowering plant for the edge of the pond that blends harmoniously into naturalistic planting schemes.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: Plant Ranunculus flammula where you want a fine "bank edge" - for example along stones or at the edge of planting baskets. In practice, the plant often gets off to a particularly good start if it is initially placed at 0 to -5 cm and later (if desired) at a depth of -15 cm.

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.

Creeping Mazus for the garden pond - Mazus reptans blueMazus 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: blueWinter hardiness: Zone 1 - 2Pot: approx. 9 cmPlant specificationsThey 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 MazusHeight: 10 - 15 cmPlanting depth: Bank zoneFlowering time: VI-IXWinter 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.

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.
