Alisma plantago-aquatica (frog spoon) is a tried-and-tested, near-natural pond plant for your garden pond. It is particularly suitable for the bank zone and shallow water areas, where its upright growth and white flowers create a calm, neat pond look. Its presence creates a harmonious transition between the water surface and the garden, without appearing too low or too dominant.
The long flowering period from June to September (VI-IX) is a big plus. This means that your pond edge planting remains attractive for many weeks and creates bright accents that are beautifully reflected in the water.
Growing to a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, the frogspoon is ideal for adding structure to the edge planting - for example behind lower shallow water plants or as a natural background for flowering companions.
The recommended planting depth of 0 to -40 cm gives you plenty of room for manoeuvre: plant the frogspoon directly in the moist bank zone or a little deeper in the shallow water area, depending on the pond structure and the desired effect.
For neat, controlled planting, we recommend using a plant basket - this keeps the position stable and makes it easier to move or divide the plant if necessary.
Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-3, Alisma plantago-aquatica is suitable for many regions and fits well in permanent garden ponds. In this way, you can create a pond edge planting with little effort that looks natural and provides reliable structure throughout the season.
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: It is best to plant the frogspoon in small groups (e.g. 3 plants) in the shallow water zone - this gives the planting a more natural look and harmoniously fills gaps at the edge of the pond. If you want a clear pond edge, use a plant basket so that the plant stays where you have planned it.
