Technical data

  • Botanical name: Preslia cervina
  • German name: English water mint
  • Flowering time: VII-IX
  • Winter hardiness: Zone 1-2
  • Height: 30 / 40 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 / -15 cm
  • Pot: approx. 9 cm


With Preslia cervina, you are choosing a compact, attractive plant for the bank and shallow water zone of your garden pond. 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. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes the plant suitable for the area directly at the edge or standing slightly in the water. 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. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are 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: 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.

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.

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.

It is exactly this clear form that makes it so popular: it brings structure to the shore planting, appears tidy and creates an exciting contrast to soft-growing marsh and flowering plants. The Cyprus grass appears especially harmonious at modern ponds or clearly defined shorelines – but it can also impress as a deliberate structural focal point in natural-style designs.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Cyperus alternifolius is suitable for the middle to background of edge plantings. It visually builds up the shore zone without completely covering the pond. The indicated flowering period from May to July (V–VII) complements the seasonal progression, in this plant the focus is usually on the foliage and shape. When planted in small groups it creates a calm, architectural effect; planted individually, the Cyprus grass becomes a real eye-catcher.

You can plant it directly in moist bank soil or place it in the very shallow water zone.Supplied in a 18 cm pot, you receive a strong root volume, which makes it easier to establish and ensures greater stability. For a neat pond edge and maximum control, a planting basket is a practical option – this way, the plant stays where it works best and can easily be moved if required.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, plants may be slightly damaged during shipping or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as snapped branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant into open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Plant Cyperus alternifolius so that the “umbrellas” are clearly visible at eye level – it looks best when slightly reflected in the water. For a neat pond edge, place the pot or basket at 0 to –15 cm depth and use a low ground cover at the front so the transition appears natural.

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.

Valerian (9 cm) – Valeriana officinalis
Valeriana officinalis – Valerian for pond edge & shoreline zoneValeriana officinalis (valerian) is a stately, natural-looking perennial for moist areas around the garden pond. With a height of 60–100 cm, it adds structure to the shoreline zone without appearing artificial. The flowering period is from May to August (V–VIII), it is suitable for 0 to –15 cm planting depth and hardy in zone 1–2.Flowering period: V–VIII (May to August)Height: approx. 60–100 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications:You receive a robust shoreline perennial that naturally enhances the pond edge and brings height to the planting.Due to the long flowering period V–VIII, the shoreline zone remains attractive for months and looks well-maintained.Thanks to the planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, valerian can be flexibly placed in moist boundary areas and very shallow zones.Technical data:Botanical name: Valeriana officinalisCommon name: ValerianHeight (cm): 60 / 100 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: V–VIIIWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Valeriana officinalis (valerian) you choose at the garden pond a shoreline perennial that appears especially natural and gives the border planting noticeably more height and depth. Especially with ponds, a “flat” impression can quickly arise if only low plants are present in the border area. Valerian creates a beautiful contrast here: it grows upright, adds volume to the shoreline zone and can be excellently combined with lower pond edge plants, which in the foreground gently soften the transition to the water.The flowering period from May to August (V–VIII) ensures that the pond edge looks lively for much of the season. As there is no information on flower colour, this point remains neutral – in the garden image, however, the overall effect of height, structure and flowering period is often the main focus with valerian. With a growth height of approx. 60 to 100 cm, the plant is ideal for the middle to background of the shoreline planting or for moist border beds next to the pond.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Valeriana officinalis versatile: Plant it in moist shoreline soil or in very shallow areas, depending on pond structure. Especially with fluctuating water levels, it is advisable to place the plant so that it always gets enough moisture without “standing too deep”.The 9 cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several specimens, to achieve a natural, expansive appearance more quickly. Thanks to zone 1–2, valerian is suitable for perennial pond setups in many regions and is a good choice if you want to design the pond edge to be natural, easy to care for, and with distinct structure.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it may happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems. We assume no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: If you want a natural shoreline look, do not plant valerian individually, but in small groups (e.g. 3 plants) slightly staggered behind lower border plants. This makes the pond edge appear deeper and more “seasoned”, and the taller stems stand more stably in the overall impression.

The variegated foliage brings brightness to the shore zone and ensures the pond edge looks well-maintained and clearly structured – ideal as a calm framework for flowering bank plants.With a growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm , the variegated water grass is suitable for the middle to back row of the pond-edge planting. It visually outlines the shoreline without ‘closing’ the pond completely. It looks especially attractive when planted in small groups or as a recurring element along the edge. This creates a natural rhythm that harmoniously embeds the pond.The flowering period from June to August (VI–VIII) complements the season’s cycle; however, the emphasis is usually on the effect of the structure and foliage. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Glyceria maxima ‘Variegata’ ideal for the shore and shallow water zone. Plant it in moist edge soil or place it in the very shallow water area – depending on the pond’s layout.Through delivery in an 18-cm pot you get a good root volume, which makes establishment easier and provides more stability. If you want to keep the pond edge especially neat or adjust the position later on, a plant basket is a practical solution: this way, the grass remains where it looks best, and you always have full control over the design.Thanks to zone 1–2, the plant is suitable for perennial pond installations in many regions and is a good choice if you want to combine lasting, calm structure with decorative foliage in your garden pond.Note on shipping: We strive to ensure our plants arrive with you healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by the postal service or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent twigs. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Position the variegated water grass so that it ‘outlines’ the pond edge: plant it slightly offset along the shoreline so a natural but defined structure results. At a depth of 0 to –15 cm it stands firmly – in a plant basket, the edge remains particularly neat and you can easily move the plant as needed.
