Technical data:
- Botanical name: Eriophorum angustifolium

Eriophorum 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.

Creeping Mazus blue (9cm) - Mazus reptans
CHF 7.90
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Especially around ponds, the first colour accents of the year have a particularly strong effect: When the water surface is still calm and many bank plants are only just sprouting, Primula rosea already provides radiant accents from March to May (III–V). This makes it ideal for visually opening the pond season early and making the edge zone appear lively.The plant remains pleasantly low at approx. 20 to 30 cm. This makes it perfect for the foreground at the pond edge, between stones or along paths and stepping stones. It does not obstruct the view of the water but subtly and neatly emphasises the shoreline. Primula rosea looks especially harmonious when you plant several plants in small groups: This creates a tranquil area that looks as if it has grown naturally and smoothly shapes the transition from water to garden.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Primula rosea flexible for moist areas. In practice, it is particularly suitable for damp bank soil or for very shallow edge zones where the soil remains consistently fresh. The 9-cm pot is ideal if you want to use several plants to achieve a visible effect more quickly. If you want to control the position exactly, a small planting basket can be helpful – especially if the water level fluctuates.Thanks to zone 1, Primula rosea is hardy and a good fit for perennial pond edge designs. It is a harmonious addition if you are keen to create a beautiful start to the season and want the pond edge to be attractive not only in summer, but already in spring.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive in good health and undamaged.

We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Plant Primula rosea where you often pass by in spring - it is perfect for “waking up” the pond.

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.

It is precisely this clear shape that makes it so popular: it brings structure to the bank planting, looks tidy and sets an exciting contrast to soft-growing marsh and flowering plants. Cyprus grass looks particularly harmonious by modern ponds or clearly defined shorelines – but even in naturalistic areas, it can be a deliberately placed structural highlight.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Cyperus alternifolius is suitable for the middle to background of marginal planting. 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.

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. 18 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: 18 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.Delivery in an 18 cm pot gives you a good starting volume, which makes it easier for the plant to grow and makes it more stable. If you prefer a clear pond edge or want to keep the position flexible later on, a planting basket is a practical solution - this keeps the plant exactly where it works 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.

Sparganium erectum
– Bur-reed for pond edge & shallow waterSparganium erectum is a vigorous bank and shallow water plant that naturally structures and stably “frames” pond edges. With a height of 60–80 cm, it is ideal for the middle to background of the bank zone. It can be planted at a depth of 0 to –40 cm and flowers from May to August (V–VIII).Area of use: Pond edge / bank zone / shallow water zoneFlowering time: V–VIII (May to August)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications: You bring a robust structural plant to the pond edge, ensuring a natural, “grown” bank appearance.Owing to the planting depth of 0 to –40 cm, bur-reed is flexible in use – from the moist edge to the shallow water area.With zone 2–3, Sparganium erectum is suitable for perennial garden ponds in many regions.Technical data:Botanical name: Sparganium erectumGerman name: bur-reed (engl. Burreed)Height (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –40 cmFlowering time: V–VIIIWinter hardiness zone: Zone 2 / 3Pot size: 9 cmWith Sparganium erectum (bur-reed / Burreed) you are choosing a proven plant for naturalistic pond edge design. It is particularly suitable if the bank area is to be not only flowering but also permanently structured. Bur-reed grows upright and brings stability to the bank zone – ideal for visually allying the transition between water surface and garden and for giving the pond an “embedded” appearance.With a growth height of about 60 to 80 cm, Sparganium erectum fits in the middle to background of the border planting. There it can serve as a green frame in front of which lower pond-edge plants and ground covers are shown off to particular effect. The flowering period from May to August (V–VIII) complements the season, even though for this species the structuring effect via leaf and growth form often takes centre stage. For a harmonious appearance, it is recommended to plant in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank line.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –40 cm allows flexible placement: directly into moist bank soil or the shallow water area, depending on pond layout. This allows you to control how present the plant is in the overall look. The 9-cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several specimens in order to quickly achieve a natural bank effect. For a controllable, neat pond edge, a planting basket can be useful – this way, Sparganium erectum remains in the intended spot and is easier to move if necessary.Thanks to zone 2–3, bur-reed is hardy and suitable for perennial pond systems. It is a good choice if you are looking for a robust, long-lived marginal plant that permanently structures the pond edge and blends harmoniously into naturalistic planting schemes.Note on shipping: We take great care to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal transport or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip:
Do not plant Sparganium erectum in the centre of the pond, but as a border plant along the pond edge. If you are unsure at first, start at about –10 to –20 cm depth and gradually lower the plant towards –40 cm – this makes it easy to find the optimal position in your own pond.
