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.

Acorus calamus – sweet flag for pond edges & shallow waterAcorus calamus is a robust pond-edge plant with grass-like growth that naturally structures the shoreline. Reaching a height of 60–80 cm, it is ideal as a background plant for shallow water and marsh areas. It can be planted at a depth of 0 to –40 cm and is hardy in zones 2–3.Area of use: Pond edge / Shore zone / Shallow water zoneHeight: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –40 cmHardiness/Zone: Zone 2–3Plant specifications: They give the pond edge a calm, natural structure and create a clean transition between the water and the garden.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –40 cm, calamus can be used flexibly from the damp edge right into the shallow water area.With a hardiness rating of 2–3, the plant is suitable for perennial ponds and remains easy to care for.Technical specifications:Botanical name: Acorus calamusCommon name: CalamusHeight (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –40 cmWinter hardiness: Zone 2 / 3Pot size: approx. 18 cmWith a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Acorus calamus is particularly well suited to the middle to background of the shoreline planting. It combines excellently with lower groundcovers and shallow-water plants that softly define the edge at the front, whilst the calamus behind provides height and structure. This creates a balanced overall look that appears natural and visually ‘frames’ the pond without obscuring the water surface. A major advantage is the flexible planting depth of 0 to –40 cm. This allows you to plant Acorus calamus in moist bank soil as well as in shallow water areas – depending on the layout of your pond.For many pond owners, a planting basket is a practical solution because it keeps the plant stable and makes it easier to move if necessary. This is particularly helpful in landscaped pond areas for keeping the edge zone well-maintained. Thanks to its specified hardiness (Zone 2–3), calamus is suitable for perennial pond schemes in many regions. This makes it a good choice if you are looking for a long-lasting, low-maintenance structural plant that reliably complements the pond edge and fits well into various planting concepts – from natural to modern.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, plants may sustain minor damage during postal delivery or due to other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as snapped stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Place Acorus calamus in the shallow water zone so that the stems gently ‘frame’ the edge, but the view into the water remains unobstructed. If you wish to keep growth under control, place the calamus in a planting basket and position it at a depth of 0 to –40 cm – this keeps the shoreline tidy and allows for adjustments at any time.

Especially around ponds, the start of the season is decisive: While many marginal plants are still developing in spring, this primrose already adds colour from March to May (III–V). This makes the pond edge look tidy and lively early in the year – ideal if you would like your garden pond to be an eye-catcher right from the start of the season.The plant remains pleasantly compact at around 20 to 30 cm in height. As such, it is ideal for the foreground of the marginal planting, for damp border beds, or as a colourful accent between stones and stepping stones. ‘Appleblossom’ has a particularly harmonious effect when you place several plants in small groups: This results in a calm, natural look and emphasises the shoreline without visually closing off the water surface.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm gives you flexibility in placement. In practice, the Japanese primrose is ideal in damp shoreline soil or in very shallow marginal zones, where the soil remains evenly fresh. The 9 cm pot is perfect if you want to plant several for a quick visible effect. If water levels fluctuate, a small plant basket can be useful to keep the plant stable and the location tidy.Thanks to Zone 1, Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’ is winter-hardy and therefore suitable for perennial pond-edge arrangements. An appealing choice if you want to make the pond edge attractive not just in summer but already in spring.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged. Despite all due care, plants may be slightly damaged by postal transport or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as broken stems. We do not accept liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant ‘Appleblossom’ where you often walk by in spring – it is ideal for bringing the pond edge to life early on. If your border area becomes drier at times in summer, place the primrose a little more sheltered in damp soil (rather than deeper in water) to ensure it is evenly supplied.

Especially at pond edges there are often transitions that can quickly appear ‘harsh’ – for example at stones, liner edges or between plant baskets. Brooklime helps to visually connect these areas: it grows low, has a calm appearance, and provides a natural finish without overloading the pond edge.A major advantage is the long flowering period from May to September (V–IX). This keeps the edge zone attractive for much of the season and gives a well-maintained appearance. Thanks to the low growth height of approx. 10 to 20 cm, Veronica beccabunga is particularly suitable for the foreground of bank plantings or as a ‘filler plant’ in the shallow water zone. It can be excellently combined with taller structural plants that may stand behind, while the brooklime in the foreground softly outlines the edge visually.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 layout. For a neat pond edge and easy care, a planting basket is often helpful, especially if you want to reposition the plant later. For growth, a consistently moist location is crucial. 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-growing, uncomplicated plant for damp areas that integrates harmoniously into a natural pond design.Note on shipping: We do our utmost to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken twigs. We do not accept liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Place brooklime along the shore where you want to fill gaps – it looks especially natural when it ‘grows into’ stones. In very shallow areas (up to –15 cm), a planting basket is practical so that the plant stands stably and you can keep design control easily.

Especially around ponds, the first splashes of colour in the year have a strong effect: while the water surface is still calm and many marginal plants are only just sprouting, Primula rosea already sets bright highlights from March to May (III–V). This makes it ideal for visually opening the pond season early and bringing the edge zone to life.The plant remains pleasantly low at around 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 obscure the view of the water, but accentuates the shoreline in a subtle, tidy manner. Primula rosea looks particularly harmonious if you plant several specimens in small groups: this creates a calm area that looks as though it has grown naturally and creates a gentle transition from water to garden.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Primula rosea flexible for damp areas. In practice, it is particularly suitable for damp bank soil or very shallow edge zones, where the substrate remains evenly fresh. The 9-cm pot is ideal if you want to use several plants to create a visible effect more quickly. If you wish to control the position precisely, a small planting basket can be helpful – especially if water levels fluctuate.Thanks to Zone 1, Primula rosea is winter-hardy and fits well in perennial pond edge designs. It is a harmonious addition if you deliberately aim for a beautiful start to the season and want to make the pond edge attractive not only in summer, but already in spring.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged.
