Sparganium erectum – Bur-reed for pond edge & shallow water
Sparganium 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 zone
- Flowering period: V–VIII (May to August)
- Height: approx. 60–80 cm
- Pot size: approx. 9 cm
Specifications for the plant:
- You are bringing a robust structural plant to the pond edge, which ensures a natural, “grown” bank appearance.
- Thanks to the planting depth of 0 to –40 cm, the bur-reed can be used flexibly – from the damp bank 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 erectum
- German name: Bur-reed
- Height (cm): 60 / 80 cm
- Planting depth: 0 / –40 cm
- Flowering period: V–VIII
- Winter hardiness zone: Zone 2 / 3
- Pot size: 9 cm
With Sparganium erectum (bur-reed), you are choosing a tried-and-tested plant for the natural design of pond edges. It is particularly suitable where the bank area is to be not only flowering but also permanently structured. The bur-reed grows upright and brings stability to the bank area – ideal for visually calming the transition between the water surface and the garden and giving the pond an “embedded” appearance.
With a growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Sparganium erectum fits into 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 stand out particularly well. The flowering period from May to August (V–VIII) complements the seasonal cycle, even though with this species the structuring effect through foliage and growth habit is often the primary focus. For a harmonious appearance, it is advisable to plant in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank line.
The recommended planting depth of 0 to –40 cm allows for flexible positioning: directly in damp bank soil or in the shallow water area, depending on the pond’s construction. This allows you to specifically control how present the plant is in the overall appearance. The 9-cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several plants in order to quickly achieve a natural bank effect. For a controllable, well-kept pond edge, a planting basket can be useful – this keeps Sparganium erectum in the designated place and makes it easier to move if necessary.
Thanks to zone 2–3, the bur-reed is winter-hardy and suitable for perennial pond installations. It is a good choice if you are looking for a robust, long-lived bank plant that permanently structures the pond edge and 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, plants may be slightly damaged by postal shipping or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken twigs. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water 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 bank line. If you are unsure to begin with, start at a depth of approx. –10 to –20 cm and later lower the plant towards –40 cm – this makes it very easy to find the optimum position in your own pond.

Dwarf water lily – Nymphaea Pygmaea Rubra
CHF 35.00
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.

Yellow marsh iris (9cm) - Iris pseudacorus
CHF 7.90
Yellow marsh iris for the garden pond - Iris pseudacorusThe yellow marsh iris is a classic waterside plant that gives pond edges an upright and natural structure. With a height of 60-80 cm, it is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone and provides seasonal accents during the flowering period from May to July (V-VII). It is hardy in zones 1-3 and therefore suitable for many locations.Flowering time: V-VII (May to July)Flower colour: yellowWinter hardiness: Zone 1, 2 and 3Pot: approx. 9 cm Plant specifications:You create a natural-looking pond edge and give the bank zone a clear structure with the upright growth. The planting depth of 0 to -40 cm allows flexible placement from the wet edge to the shallow water area. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-3, the marsh iris is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond plants. Technical data:Botanical name: Iris pseudacorusGerman name: Yellow marsh irisPlanting depth: 0 to -40 cmFlowering time: V-VII (May to July)Winter hardiness: Zone 1/2/3Pot: approx. 9 cmWith Iris pseudacorus (yellow marsh iris), you are choosing a tried-and-tested plant for a permanently attractive pond edge and bank design. With its sword-shaped leaves, it brings a clear, vertical structure to the garden pond and helps to make the transition between the water surface and the garden bed appear more natural. It is particularly popular in near-natural pond systems because it visually "grips" the edge area while leaving enough lightness for a harmonious overall appearance.The marsh iris reaches a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm and is therefore ideal for the centre to background of the bank planting. In combination with lower marginal plants, it creates a harmonious structure that does not overgrow the pond but clearly organises it. The flowering period from May to July (V-VII) brings seasonal highlights to the edge of the pond. The plant looks best when planted in small groups or as a recurring element along the shoreline, creating a calm, well-organised design.
A major advantage is the flexible planting depth of 0 to -40 cm. This means you can either plant Iris pseudacorus directly in moist bank soil or in the shallow water area - depending on the structure of your pond and the effect you want to achieve.For neat, controllable planting, planting in a plant basket is often recommended, especially if you want to adjust the position later.
Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-3, the yellow marsh iris is suitable for many regions and is a solid choice for long-term pond 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: It is best to plant Iris pseudacorus at a depth of 0 to -40 cm so that the plant does not stand in the middle of the pond but emphasises the edge - this is where it looks most natural. If you want a very neat pond edge, use a plant basket so that the plant stays exactly where you want it.

The leaves are arranged like umbrellas and visually resemble small palm fronds – creating a clear, yet still natural, shape, instantly enhancing pond edges. Especially where there are many soft-growing plants around the pond, this sedge provides a calm counterpoint and brings order to the overall picture.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex muskingumensis is ideal for the middle to background of the shoreline planting. It can visually “frame” pond edges without completely covering the water surface. It is 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 were all of a piece. The flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII) complements the seasonal cycle; for this plant, however, the attractive leaf structure is usually the main focus.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the palm-leaf 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 laid out.The 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 tidy, easily controlled pond edge, a planting basket is a practical solution: this keeps the plant stable in the desired place and makes it easy to move if necessary.Thanks to zone 1–2, Carex muskingumensis is suitable for perennial pond installations in many regions and is a low-maintenance choice if you want to combine structure, height and a natural appearance.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged during postal shipping or other unforeseen events. These include brown leaves as well as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.
Zoo-Roco tip:
Plant the palm-leaf sedge so that from your main viewing axis it “frames the pond” – for example, on the left and right of a seating area view of the water. At a depth of 0 to –15 cm it looks especially natural, and in a planting basket its shape stays neat and can be corrected at any time.

Unlike traditional aquatic plants, it does not belong in the water, but thrives particularly well at the pond’s edge in moist, humus-rich soil. Precisely where the soil receives regular moisture but is not permanently flooded, it can establish itself well and enhance the visual transition between the bank and the garden.A semi-shaded spot is ideal, for example at the edge of a copse near a pond or in a waterside planting scheme with perennials and ferns. Ensure the soil is well-drained and free from waterlogging. During dry spells, regular watering helps to ensure the plant remains evenly supplied with moisture. If Bketilla is grown in a pot, good drainage is essential; in winter, a sheltered spot may be advisable.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged.

Dwarf water lily – Nymphaea Pygmaea Alba (18cm)
CHF 35.00
Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’ – dwarf water lily white-yellowThe dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’, with its white-yellow flowers, adds a serene, elegant touch to the water’s surface. Thanks to its compact growth habit, it is particularly suitable for smaller garden ponds or basins where a classic water lily would be too vigorous. Ideal if you want a delicate floral effect without the pond looking ‘overcrowded’.Dwarf water lily – suitable for smaller pondsFlower colour: white-yellowGrowth habit: compact, with a modest foliage and flower displaySuitable for: garden pond, mini-pond, pot/tank (depending on the setup)Technical dataBotanical name: Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’Common name: Dwarf water lilyFlower colour: white-yellowPlanting depth: between -10 and -40 cmFlowering period: from June to September
Pot size: approx. 18 cmWith the dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’, you can create particularly stylish water features – even if your garden pond is rather small or you wish to plant in a mini-pond . Dwarf water lilies are designed to create the classic water lily effect in a limited space: the leaves float on the surface, whilst the delicate water lilies emerge from them.The ‘Alba’ variety impresses with a white-yellow flower colour, which has a very calming effect and can be easily combined with various pond and border plants.
The choice of plants is particularly crucial in smaller ponds: water lilies that grow too vigorously can quickly dominate the surface. The dwarf water lily remains comparatively more compact and is therefore ideal if you want to keep the water’s surface deliberately open. At the same time, water lilies create a pleasant pond atmosphere: the flowers draw the eye to the water, and the floating leaves give the pond a natural ‘centre’.
For good establishment, a stable position is important – ideally in a planting basket or a suitable container, so that the substrate and rhizome are securely in place and you can adjust the position if necessary.If you’re looking for subtle, high-quality blooms and want to opt for a compact water lily, Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Alba’ is a suitable choice for a well-maintained, natural-looking pond design. Note on dispatch: We do our utmost to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged. Despite taking the utmost care, plants may occasionally sustain minor damage during postal delivery or due to other unforeseen circumstances. This includes brown leaves as well as snapped stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: With dwarf water lilies, it’s worth placing the plant a little higher to begin with and then lowering it later if necessary – this usually helps it to grow more quickly. If you’re planting in a pot/mini-pond, make sure the water lily gets enough sun and isn’t shaded by plants around the edge.

Especially at pond edges, it is helpful to use plants that not only flower in specific spots, but also create a calm, natural line with their growth habit. Sedges are particularly well suited for this: they look neat, can be combined in various ways and add stability to the edge planting.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex panacea fits ideally into the middle to background of the pondside planting. It can serve as a green frame that structures the pond edge, while lower groundcovers and flowering shallow water plants in the foreground soften the transition to the water. The flowering period from June to July (VI–VII) falls in the early summer phase and complements the season, even if with sedges the focus is usually on foliage and structure.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant flexible in use: directly in damp bank soil or in very shallow water. Depending on the pond layout, you can decide whether the sedge should act more as a marginal plant or as a shallow water element.The 9-cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to plant several plants to quickly achieve an even, natural bank line. For a neat pond edge and better control, a planting basket can be useful – this keeps the plant stable and makes it easier to move if necessary.
Thanks to zone 1–2, Carex panacea is winter hardy and therefore well suited for perennial pond schemes. A good choice if you are looking for a calm, low-maintenance structural plant for the garden pond, one that blends harmoniously into natural-looking bank designs.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged at your address. Despite utmost care, it is possible for plants to be slightly damaged during postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip:
Plant sedges at the pond edge in small groups, slightly staggered, rather than in a straight line – this makes the shoreline appear more natural. If you want to keep the edge very neat, place Carex panacea in a planting basket at a depth of 0 to –15 cm and combine a low ground cover at the front for a soft finish.

Zoo-Roco tip:
