Cyperus alternifolius – Cyprus grass for pond edge


Cyperus alternifolius (Umbrella Plant) is a striking structural plant with umbrella-shaped growth for the garden pond. With a height of 60–80 cm, it brings height and clear lines to the bank and shallow water zone. It is suitable for 0 to –15 cm planting depth, and flowers from May to July (V–VII).


  • Flowering time: V–VII (May to July)
  • Height: approx. 60–80 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 to –15 cm
  • Pot size: approx. 18 cm


Plant specifications: 

  • The typical umbrella-shaped growth creates a modern, tidy accent at the edge of the pond.
  • With a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, Cyprus grass can be flexibly placed in marginal and shallow water areas.
  • The 18-cm pot provides a stable start and makes it easier to place at the pond.

Technical data:

  • Botanical name: Cyperus alternifolius
  • German name: Cyprus grass (Umbrella Plant)
  • Height (cm): 60 / 80 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 / –15 cm
  • Flowering time: V–VII
  • Winter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2
  • Pot size: 18 cm

With Cyperus alternifolius (Cyprus grass / Umbrella Plant), you bring a pond edge plant into your garden that stands out immediately thanks to its distinctive, umbrella-shaped silhouette. 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.

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'
Primula rosea – Pink primrose for pond edgesPrimula rosea is a true spring bloomer for moist areas by the garden pond, providing fresh colour accents with pink flowers from March to May (III–V). With a height of 20–30 cm, it remains compact and is ideal for the bank and edge zone. The planting depth is 0 to –15 cm, and it is hardy in zone 1.–2.Flower colour: pinkFlowering time: III–V (March to May)Height: approx. 20–30 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications: They add vibrant colour to the pond edge very early in the year when many other plants are still reluctant.Thanks to their compact height, the water surface remains visible while the edge zone bursts into friendly bloom.With a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, Primula rosea can be placed flexibly in moist bank areas.Technical data:Botanical name: Primula roseaGerman name: Pink primroseHeight (cm): 20 / 30 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering time: III–VWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1Pot size: 9 cmWith Primula rosea you will get a reliable harbinger of spring by the garden pond. 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. Despite the utmost care, it may happen that plants are slightly damaged by the postal service or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken twigs. 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. If the location becomes drier in summer, combine it at the edge with low-growing groundcover to keep the soil moist for longer.

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.

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.

Such visual impairments are generally uncritical for establishment.Zoo-Roco tip: When planting cattails in the pond, place them in a planting basket and limit the root space. This keeps the shore area tidy, and you can easily move or divide the plant if necessary.

The leaves are arranged like umbrellas and are visually reminiscent of small palm fronds - this creates a clear yet natural shape that immediately enhances pond edges. This sedge provides a calm counterpoint and brings order to the overall picture, especially if there are many soft-growing plants around the pond.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex muskingumensis is ideal for the centre to background of the bank planting. It can visually "frame" pond edges without completely covering the water surface. It looks particularly harmonious in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank - this creates a natural rhythm that makes the pond look as if it has been 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 shore and shallow water zone. Plant it in moist bank soil or place it in a very shallow water area - depending on how your pond is constructed.Delivery in an 18 cm pot makes planting easier and gives the plant a good root volume for a secure start. If you prefer a neat, easily controllable pond edge, a plant basket is a practical solution: the plant remains stable in the desired location and can be easily moved if necessary.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 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 the palm frond sedge so that it "frames the pond" from your main visual axis - for example to the left and right of a seating area overlooking the water. At a depth of 0 to -15 cm, it looks particularly natural, and in the plant basket the shape remains clean and can be corrected at any time.

Its small oval leaves with a diameter of 10 mm cm are arranged opposite each other on an elongated leaf stalk. These leaves are covered with fine hairs that trap air bubbles, allowing them to float. Depending on the light intensity, they are wavy or flat. Salvinia forms a third type of underwater leaves on which the spores are deposited.Like all floating plants, Salvinia is recommended for shady waters . Its great appetite for nitrogen and phosphorus compounds makes this plant a good ally in the fight against algae. Salvinia has low light and nutrient requirements. It grows well in both moderate and strong light. As a floating plant, it does not require a substrate but draws all the necessary nutrients directly from the water. During the vegetation period, it reproduces by spreading, whereby the growth rate is moderate. This makes it easy to control its growth and remove excess plants. It grows to a length of 3-6 cm and likes warm, humid air, so it is advisable to use a glass or cover when growing it.It should be placed in such a way that no condensation falls on the plants. It adapts very quickly to the new parameters. However, it should be borne in mind that it will die if there is too little light. It thrives best in soft to medium-hard water at 22-24°C. The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratories. Thanks to the sterile production conditions, the cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Place the plant on the surface of the water.
