With Ranunculus flammula (Lesser Spearwort), you choose a delicate yet effective plant for the shore and shallow water zone of your garden pond. Especially at the pond edge, low-growing plants are important to ensure the water surface remains visible and the transition to the surroundings is soft. Ranunculus flammula fulfils exactly this function: it remains compact, can be placed well between stones or along edges and creates a natural, “grown-in” appearance. The long flowering period from May to September (V–IX) is particularly attractive. The yellow flowers add small, cheerful colour accents to the pond edge for many weeks – ideal if you want not just sporadic bursts of flowering, but a permanently lively edge zone.
With a growth height of approx. 20 to 30 cm, the plant is suitable for the foreground: it can fill gaps, visually soften edges and have a surface effect without becoming dominant. Planted in small groups, it gives a calm, natural impression; planted singly, it gives specific colour accents.
The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Ranunculus flammula very flexible. You can plant it in damp bank soil or place it in very shallow water – depending on how your pond is structured. The 9-cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to plant several specimens to quickly achieve a closed appearance along the shoreline. For a well-kept pond edge, a planting basket can be helpful to ensure the plant stands firmly and can be easily moved if required. Thanks to zone 1–2, Ranunculus flammula is winter hardy and suitable for permanent pond installations.
It is a good choice if you are looking for a low-growing, floriferous plant for the pond edge that blends harmoniously into naturalistic plantings.

Zoo-Roco tip:
Plant Ranunculus flammula where you desire a delicate “waterside edge” – for example, alongside stones or at the edge of planting baskets. In practice, the plant often gets off to an especially good start if first placed at 0 to –5 cm and later (if desired) set deeper to –15 cm.
