Acorus calamus - calamus for pond edges & shallow water


Caltha palustris is a classic spring-flowering plant for the garden pond and creates bright accents with its yellow flowers from March to May (III-V). At a height of 30-40 cm, it is ideal for the edge of the pond and in damp marginal zones. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to -15 cm and hardy in zones 1-2.


  • Flower colour: yellow
  • Flowering period: III-V (March to May)
  • Height: approx. 30-40 cm
  • Pot size: approx. 18cm


Plant specifications: 

  • They bring vibrant colour to the edge of the pond in spring - just when many other pond plants are still restrained.
  • The planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes the marsh marigold perfect for banks and shallow water edges.
  • Thanks to zone 1-2, it is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond plantings.


Technical data:

  • Botanical name: Caltha palustris
  • German name: marsh marigold
  • Height (cm): 30 / 40 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 / -15 cm
  • Flowering time: III-V
  • Winter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2
  • Pot size: 18 cm

Caltha palustris (Marsh Marigold) is one of the most popular spring-flowering plants for your garden pond. When the garden starts up again after the winter, its yellow flowers from March to May (III-V) provide a bright eye-catcher by the water. This is particularly valuable at the edge of the pond: many waterside plants only sprout vigorously later - the marsh marigold, on the other hand, brings colour early and looks natural and harmonious.
With a growth height of approx. 30 to 40 cm , the plant is ideal for the foreground to midground. It is ideal for the edges of ponds, in damp border beds or in areas that are permanently fresh to wet. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water edge zone: directly in moist soil at the edge or standing slightly in the water. Caltha palustris looks particularly beautiful when planted in small groups - this creates a calm, natural area that visually softens the edge of the pond.
Delivery in an 18 cm pot makes planting easier and gives the plant a good root volume right from the start. If you want a very clear pond edge or want to keep the position flexible, a plant basket is a practical solution: this keeps the marsh marigold stable in the desired place and can be easily moved if necessary.
Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Caltha palustris is suitable for permanent pond installations in many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for easy-care, near-natural pond edge planting.

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: Place the marsh marigold where you often walk past in spring - it is a perfect starting point for the pond season. If the water level fluctuates greatly in spring, place the plant in the plant basket at a depth of 0 to -15 cm so that it remains stable and grows reliably.

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.

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

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.
