Technical data:

  • Botanical name: Phalaris arundinacea ‘Picta’
  • Common name: Colourful ribbon grass (also: Reed canary grass ‘Picta’)
  • Height (cm): 60 / 80 cm
  • Planting depth: 0 / –15 cm
  • Flowering period: VI–VIII
  • Winter hardiness zone: Zone 1
  • Pot size: 9 cm

With Phalaris arundinacea ‘Picta’, you are choosing a ribbon grass that impresses at the garden pond above all with its striped leaf markings. 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. Phalaris ‘Picta’ appears particularly harmonious when planted in small groups or placed as a recurring element along a pond edge. This creates a natural rhythm that embeds the pond harmoniously.

The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant ideal for the damp bank zone and very shallow areas. Plant it directly in damp marginal soil or place it in the shallow-water border area – depending on the pond layout. Delivered in a 9-cm pot, ribbon grass can easily be integrated into planting plans, especially if you want to plant several specimens for an even edge effect. For a particularly neat pond edge, a plant basket can be useful to ensure the plant stays stable and so you can simply adjust its position as required.

With winter hardiness zone 1, Phalaris ‘Picta’ is suitable for perennial pond installations and is a good choice if you want to combine structure with a bright foliage effect at your garden pond.


Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, it is possible that plants may be slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems.

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.

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.

At depths of 0 to –15 cm, it stands stable – and in a plant basket, you keep the shoreline particularly easily under control.

Especially by ponds, there are areas that are permanently fresh to wet and in which traditional bedding plants often do not thrive optimally. Houttuynia cordata is perfect for such sites: it helps to green up edge zones, calm down transitions visually, and allow the pond edge to appear more natural.The plant remains pleasantly compact at around 30 to 40 cm high. This makes it ideal for the foreground or as a filler between taller marginal plants. Planted in small groups, it creates a harmonious, "grown" impression that visually softens the pond edge.

With zone 1–2, Houttuynia cordata is winter-hardy and thus suitable for perennial pond installations. It is a fitting choice when you want an uncomplicated pond edge planting that naturally frames the water and can be easily combined with other marginal and shallow water plants.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite all due care, plants can be slightly damaged by postal shipping or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We accept no liability for this.

At 0 to –15 cm depth and in a planting basket, the position can be steered particularly easily if you want to adjust the design later.
