Technical data:
  • Botanical name: Alisma plantago-aquatica
  • German name: Frogspoon
  • Height: 60 / 80 cm
  • Depth: 0 / -40 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 to -40 cm

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.

Palm-leaf sedge (9 cm) – Carex muskingumensis
Carex muskingumensis – Palm-leaf sedge for pond edgesCarex muskingumensis is a decorative ornamental grass for damp locations and the edge of the garden pond, known for its umbrella-like arrangement of leaves. With a height of 60–80 cm, it brings calm structure to the shore and shallow water zones. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm; flowering period: June to August (VI–VIII).Flowering period: VI–VIII (June to August)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications: They provide a calm, natural structure at the pond edge – ideal as a "frame" for flowering bank plants.With a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the palm-leaf sedge can be flexibly placed in shore and shallow water zones.Technical data:Botanical name: Carex muskingumensisEnglish name: Palm-leaf sedgeHeight (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: VI–VIIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Carex muskingumensis (Palm-leaf sedge / Umbrella Flat Sedge), you are choosing a structural grass that looks particularly elegant at the edge of the garden pond. The leaves are arranged like umbrellas and visually resemble small palm fronds – this creates a clear, yet still natural form that immediately enhances pond edges. Especially when there are many soft-growing plants around the pond, this sedge creates a calm counterpart and brings order to the overall look.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex muskingumensis is ideal for middle to background planting on the bank. It can visually "frame" the pond edges without completely obscuring the water surface. It is especially effective in small groups or as a recurring element along the shore – this creates a natural rhythm that makes the pond appear as if cast from one mould. The flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII) complements the season; with this plant, though, the main focus is usually on the attractive leaf structure.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the palm-leaf sedge suitable for the shore and shallow water zones. Plant it in moist bank soil or place it in very shallow water – depending on how your pond is designed.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 shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite our greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged during postal delivery or due to other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant the palm-leaf sedge so that it "frames the pond" from your main viewing axis – for example, to the left and right of a seating area overlooking the water. At a depth of 0 to –15 cm it appears particularly natural, and in a plant basket its shape remains neat and can be corrected at any time.

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.

When the garden comes back to life after winter, it ensures a striking splash of colour by the water with its yellow flowers from March to May (III–V).

It fits perfectly at pond edges, in damp border beds or in areas that are permanently moist to wet. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water edge zone: directly in damp soil at the edge or standing slightly in water. Marsh marigold looks especially beautiful when you plant it in small groups – this creates a calm, natural area that visually softens the pond edge.The delivery in a 18-cm pot makes it easier to plant and gives the plant a good root volume from the start. If you want a very clear pond edge or want to keep the position flexible, a planting basket is a practical solution: this keeps the marsh marigold stable in the desired spot and can be easily moved if necessary.Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2, Caltha palustris is suitable for permanent pond installations in many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for a low-maintenance, natural pond edge planting.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged.

In practice, the Japanese primrose is ideal in damp bank soil or very shallow marginal areas where the soil remains consistently fresh. The 9 cm pot is perfect if you want to plant several specimens to achieve a visible effect quickly. With fluctuating water levels, a small planting basket can be useful to keep the plant stable and the site tidy.Thanks to Zone 1, Primula japonica ‘Alba’ is winter-hardy and is therefore well suited to perennial pond edge designs.

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.

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.

For a tidy edge zone, we recommend a planting basket at a depth of 0 to -15 cm: this keeps the plant where it looks best and you can keep the design under control at all times.

There are often areas around the garden pond that are evenly moist and need a plant that gives the edge a natural look without becoming too tall. This is exactly what English water mint is suitable for: it brings structure to the bank zone and ensures a neat, flowering overall appearance in the second half of summer. The flowering period from July to September (VII-IX) is particularly valuable when many spring and early summer bloomers are already fading. This keeps your pond edge attractive for longer and gives it a lively appearance even at the height of the season.With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm, Preslia cervina 'Alba' can be used in a variety of ways: as a quiet border, as a filling plant between stones and edges or as a companion to higher-growing shore plants.

Depending on the pond structure, you can either place the plant directly in moist soil around the edge or slightly into the water, where it will stand securely. The 18 cm pot is particularly practical as it already has a good volume and makes it easier to place in the pond. If you want a very clear pond edge or want to keep the plant in check, a plant basket is a good option - this keeps everything tidy and you can adjust the position at any time. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Preslia cervina 'Alba' is suitable for permanent garden ponds and is a harmonious choice if you are looking for a reliable, compact flowering plant for the edge of the pond.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged.

This keeps the plant where it works best - and you can easily move it around if necessary.

Plants that provide structure, soften the transition between water and garden and at the same time have a reliable effect throughout the season are particularly in demand at the edge of the pond. This English water mint fulfils precisely this task: at approx. 30 to 40 cm, it remains pleasantly low and can therefore be integrated into existing pond plantings in a variety of ways.A particular advantage is the flowering period from July to September (VII-IX). During this phase, many pond owners want additional colour accents, as early bloomers are already fading. The pink flowers then add a lively yet harmonious touch to the pond - ideal if you prefer a natural look and don't want the edge to be too restless.Preslia cervina is well suited to group plantings, but also works well on its own as a colourful accent between stones, along a stream or along the edge of a pond.

Depending on the pond structure, place Preslia cervina in moist soil or in a stable position in the shallow water zone. The 18 cm pot provides a good volume for this and makes planting easier. If you want to keep the planting particularly tidy or flexibly adjust the position later, a plant basket is recommended - this keeps the plant exactly where it looks best. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Preslia cervina is suitable for permanent garden ponds and is an easy-care addition for seasonal pond edging.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged.

Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo Roco tip: Place Preslia cervina in the best spot where you can see it from your seat: In the shallow water zone down to -15 cm, flowers look particularly attractive because they are reflected in the water. A planting basket is ideal for a clean pond edge - this keeps the plant under control and makes it easy to move if necessary.
