  • Botanical name: Myosotis palustris
  • German name: marsh forget-me-not

Myosotis palustris (marsh forget-me-not) is a classic plant for the bank and marsh zone around the garden pond. It is ideal if you want to create a natural, gentle transition between the water surface and the garden. The marsh forget-me-not really comes into its own in damp areas where many bedding plants struggle: It looks light, friendly and blends harmoniously into mixed pond edge plantings. One major advantage is the long flowering period from May to August (V-VIII). This means that the edge zone remains lively and visually attractive for months.

With a height of approx. 20 to 40 cm, the plant is particularly suitable for the foreground at the edge of the pond or as a filling element between stones, stepping stones and other shore plants. Planted in small groups, it creates a calm, flat effect that quickly looks natural and reliably closes gaps. Myosotis palustris is particularly interesting for pond design if you want a planting that is not too tall and does not obscure the view of the water. Place the plant in evenly moist soil at the edge or in the swamp zone - there it can establish itself well.

The pot (approx. 18 cm) provides a solid starting volume and makes it easier to place in the desired location. If you prefer a clear edge to the pond, a plant basket can be useful to keep the plant where it will look best. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, the marsh forget-me-not is suitable for permanent garden ponds and is an uncomplicated addition to near-natural bank plantings.


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: For a particularly natural look, place the marsh forget-me-not in small groups along the shoreline. If you are unsure how wet the location should be: place the plant on the wet edge first (not too deep in the water) - this makes it easy to find the perfect area by the garden pond.

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.

UV blocker pond
sera Pond UV BlockerThe sera Pond UV Block er reduces the UV light transmission in the pond with concentrated humic acids. When used regularly, this ensures naturally clearer water, reduces green clouding and protects pond inhabitants through a shading effect - ideal in strong sunlight.Highlights: Reduces UV light transmission in pond water (humic acids)Reduces turbidity / "green water" by shading out lightInhibits excessive warming - especially in shallow water zonesCares for sensitive fish mucous membranes thanks to natural humic substancesSuitable for koi, goldfish & native species Strong sunlight can quickly become a problem in garden ponds: UV radiation promotes turbidity (e.g. greenish water due to floating algae), stresses fish and causes the water to heat up much faster - especially in shallow areas. The sera Pond UV Blocker provides a natural remedy here. The concentrated humic acids/humic substances it contains reduce the UV light transmission of the pond water. This creates a shading effect that can contribute to natural clarification when used regularly. At the same time, the pond inhabitants benefit: the lower light input can reduce the stress level and the humic substances support the care of the sensitive mucous membranes. Where is the UV blocker best used? Ponds with full sun or little natural shade Ponds with koi/goldfish or higher stocking levels Natural and ornamental ponds in which you want to avoid chemical intervention as far as possible (maintenance support)Application & dosage Dosage: 50 ml per 1,000 liters of pond water. Recommendation: dose weekly. In case of very strong sunlight / high turbidity: increase dosage to 2× per week.Application instructions: Shake well before use.Ensure even distribution (e.g. pre-dilute in a watering can or pour into the flow area). (Practical tip; manufacturer refers to "sufficient water movement" for distribution). Range of the variants: 500 ml → up to 10,000 L 2.5 L → up to 50,000 LIngredients / active principle Basis: Natural humic substances / (concentrated) humic acids Effect: Light filtering/shading, thus less UV input, supports natural water clarification with regular useFrequently asked questions:Does the UV blocker turn the water brown? Humic substances can give the water a slightly amber-colored, natural hue - similar to many natural waters. This is intentional because it filters out UV light. (Common humic substance effect; the "reduce UV light transmission" is the manufacturer's specification). Can I use the UV Blocker together with UV-C clarifiers/filters? Yes, it is generally common to use it with filter systems. UV Blocker works by filtering light in the water; filters then remove particles/clouding. (Combination note without hard manufacturer's exclusive claim.) Which fish is itsuitable for?For goldfish, koi and native fish species. How quickly will I see an effect? The product is designed for regular use and supports natural clarification. Visible changes depend heavily on sunlight, nutrient input and filtration.

It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, with the flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII).Flowering period: VI–VIII (June to August)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 18 cmPlant specifications: They create a calm, natural structure at the pond edge – ideal as a “frame” for flowering shoreline plants.Thanks to the planting depth 0 to –15 cm, the palm-leaf sedge can be flexibly placed in shoreline and shallow water areas.The 18-cm pot gives the plant a stable start and makes it easier to plant in the desired spot.Technical data:Botanical name: Carex muskingumensisGerman name: Palm-leaf sedgeHeight (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: VI–VIIIWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 18 cmWith Carex muskingumensis (Palm-leaf sedge / Umbrella Flat Sedge) you are choosing a structural grass that looks particularly elegant at the garden pond edge. 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.

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.

Cotton grass (18 cm) – Eriophorum angustifolium

Cotton grass is ideally suited to pond landscapes which are designed to look more natural, or where a soft shoreline is deliberately retained. With its grass-like habit, it adds structure to the edge zone without appearing heavy or dominant – ideal if you wish to keep the water area visually open. The white flowers appear from April to June (IV–VI) and add bright highlights early in the year. Especially by the water, this blossom is particularly attractive because, with a calm surface, it is beautifully reflected and brightens up the shore zone.With a height of approximately 30 to 40 cm cotton grass is perfect for the foreground to midground: it pairs well with lower ground covers and is also harmonious next to taller bank plants which can be placed in the background. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Eriophorum angustifolium ideal for the shore and shallow-water edge zone. Place the plant in damp bank soil or put it in a very shallow water section.Supplied in an 18-cm pot, you receive a good starting volume that makes establishment easier and makes the plant more stable. If you prefer a defined pond edge or wish to keep the position flexible later, a planting basket is a practical solution – this means the plant remains exactly where it shows to best effect. Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2 cotton grass is suitable for many regions and is an easy-going choice for perennial pond edge planting. It is particularly attractive if several plants are set slightly offset from one another – this creates a natural shore effect that visually frames the pond harmoniously.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite all due care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal transit or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as bent stems. We do not accept liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Cotton grass looks best when you place it in small groups in the edge zone (0 to –15 cm) and combine it with calmer green plants. If your water level varies, first set the pot a little higher and lower it gradually after establishment – this usually ensures the plant settles more reliably.

This makes ‘Spiralis’ suitable for both natural-looking ponds and clearly designed features where form and structure take centre stage.With a height of approx. 40 to 60 cm, the corkscrew rush is ideal for the middle ground of the bank planting. It is tall enough to be visible, but remains so compact that the water surface is not completely obscured. It is particularly attractive in small groups or as a recurring element along the pond edge, where the twisted stems create a calm, graphic pattern.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant very flexible: plant it in moist bank soil or place it in very shallow water. For a clean, controllable pond design, a planting basket is often practical – especially as the position at the pond edge can be easily adjusted.The 9 cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several specimens to achieve a uniform structural effect. Thanks to Zone 1–2, Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ is winter-hardy and suitable for perennial pond installations. An ideal choice if you want to create your garden pond not only “green”, but also deliberately designed with form and structure.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 during postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Place the corkscrew rush where it can be reflected in the water – then the spiral shape is particularly effective. If you want a very neat edge, place it in a planting basket at a depth of 0 to –15 cm: this way, the shape stays in the right place and you can easily move the plant if required.

Around ponds, plants are required that are not only attractive during short blooming periods but structure the border zone throughout the whole season. This is exactly where ‘Picta’ comes into its own: The light, colourful-looking foliage brings freshness to the bank zone and forms a beautiful contrast to darker green plants, stones or the water surface.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, ribbon grass is suitable for the middle to background area of pond edge planting. It “frames” the bank line without completely taking away the view into the water, and brings a calm, tidy effect.

Zoo-Roco tip: Use Phalaris ‘Picta’ to visually brighten dark corners at the pond edge – for example, next to stones or in front of evergreen plants. If you wish to keep a clear shape, plant the ribbon grass in a plant basket (0 to –15 cm) and cut it back to ground level in spring so that it sends up fresh shoots again.

As the garden comes back to life after winter, it provides a radiant focal point by the water with its yellow flowers from March to May (III–V). Especially at the pond edge, this is particularly valuable: many marginal plants only really start to grow strongly later on – the marsh marigold, on the other hand, brings early colour and appears natural and harmonious.With a growth height of approx. 30 to 40 cm the plant is ideal for the foreground to midground. It fits beautifully on pond margins, in damp border beds or areas that are permanently fresh to wet. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water edge zone: directly in moist soil at the edge or standing slightly in water. Caltha palustris looks particularly attractive when set in small groups – this creates a calm, natural area that visually softens the pond edge.Delivery in a 9-cm pot makes planting easier. If you want a very clear pond margin or want to keep the position flexible, a planting basket is a practical solution: this keeps the marsh marigold stable in the desired place and allows it to be easily moved if necessary.Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2, Caltha palustris is suitable for permanently designed pond installations in many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for easy-care, natural pond edge planting.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged.

We do not accept any liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant the marsh marigold where you often walk past in spring – it’s a perfect starting point for the pond season. If your water level fluctuates greatly in spring, place the plant in the planting basket at 0 to –15 cm so it stays stable and takes root reliably.

Creeping Mazus white (18cm) - Mazus reptans
Creeping Mazus for the garden pond - Mazus reptans whiteMazus reptans white is a low-growing ground cover that quickly green up damp areas around the edge of a garden pond. The white flowers appear from April to September (IV-IX) and provide a neat, fresh look for a long time. Thanks to zone 1-2, the plant is suitable for perennial planting.Flowering time: IV-IX (April to September)Flower colour: whiteWinter hardiness: Zone 1 - 2Pot: approx. 18 cmPlant specificationsThey quickly close gaps at the edge of the pond and create a natural, soft transition between the water and the garden.The long flowering period IV-IX keeps the border attractive for many months.The low, creeping growth looks neat and helps to reduce open soil in moist areas.Technical data:Botanical name: Mazus reptans (white)German name: Creeping MazusPlanting depth: Bank zoneFlowering time: VI-IXWinter hardiness: Zone 1/2 Mazus reptans white is a reliable ground cover for moist locations - ideal for landscaping around the garden pond. Small gaps often appear along the edges of banks, in the swamp zone or along streams where open soil remains visible. Here, creeping Mazus provides a natural finish: it grows flat, visually connects different planting areas and makes the transition from water to garden appear much softer.A particular advantage is the long flowering period from April to September (IV-IX). This means that Mazus reptans brings bright accents to the border for many months and at the same time looks well-groomed without you having to constantly replant or mend. The white flowers go well with practically any pond design - whether natural or more modern - and can be combined well with taller waterside plants. This makes the Mazus particularly suitable as a "carpet" in the foreground, while structure-giving pond plants round off the picture behind it.For placement by the garden pond, we recommend a location that remains evenly moist. Place the Mazus where you want a dense border - for example at the edge of the pond, between stones or at the edge of stepping stones. This not only keeps the bank zone visually calmer, it also looks more stable and less "torn up". As there is no information on height, planting depth and pot size, these points remain neutral; in practice, a moist, suitable location at the edge is particularly important.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be 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: Plant Mazus reptans white at the edge of the pond where you want to break up "hard edges" - e.g. between stones or along the edge of the liner. If the location becomes drier at times in summer, a thin layer of fine gravel or mulch at the edge will help to keep the soil moist for longer.

Dwarf rush (18cm) - Juncus ensifolius
Juncus ensifolius - dwarf rush for the garden pondThe dwarf rush is a compact, grass-like pond edge plant that gives banks and shallow water zones a clean visual structure. At 30-40 cm tall, it is ideal for the edge without obscuring the view of the water. It flowers from June to August (VI-VIII) and is hardy in zones 1-2.Flowering period: VI-VIII (June to August)Flower colour: rust redWinter hardiness: Zone 1 - 2Pot: approx. 18 cmPlant specifications:They give the pond edge a calm, natural structure and neatly fill gaps between stones or plant baskets.The planting depth of 0 to -15 cm allows the dwarf rush to be placed flexibly in marginal and shallow water zones.Thanks to zone 1-2, it is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Juncus ensifoliusGerman name: Dwarf rushPlanting depth: up to -15 cmFlowering time: VI-VIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1/2Pot: approx. 18 cmWith Juncus ensifolius (dwarf rush), you can choose a plant for your garden pond that impresses with its clear, grass-like structure. Such "calming elements" are particularly important around ponds: they bring order to the bank planting, make transitions look more natural and prevent the edge area from appearing visually restless.Thanks to its compact height of approx. 30 to 40 cm, the dwarf rush is ideal for the foreground to midground - where you want structure but want the water surface to remain visible. The dwarf rush can be used very flexibly as it is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to -15 cm. This makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water zone: directly in moist marginal soil or standing slightly in the water.It looks particularly attractive when planted in small groups or as a recurring element along the edge of the pond. This creates a natural rhythm that visually "captures" the pond. The flowering period is from June to August (VI-VIII). Even if the flowers are often not the centre of attention with rushes, the seasonal indication gives you a good orientation for the development over the summer.Due to its hardiness (zone 1-2), Juncus ensifolius is suitable for perennial pond installations and is an easy-care addition to naturalised, permanent shoreline areas. For a clean, controllable pond design, we recommend using it in a plant basket, depending on the design. This ensures that the plant remains stable in the desired position and you can easily move or divide it if necessary.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: Use the dwarf rush as a "framing plant": place it along the edge of the pond at a depth of 0 to -15 cm to make transitions between stones, the edge of the liner and higher-growing shore plants appear calmer. The line remains particularly clean and easy to maintain in plant baskets.
