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.

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.

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.

Especially for garden ponds, plants are needed that not only look attractive during short flowering periods, but also provide structure throughout the season. 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.
