Creeping Mazus for the garden pond – Mazus reptans blueMazus reptans blue is a low-growing ground cover that quickly greens the damp edge areas around the garden pond. The white flowers appear from April to September (IV–IX) and provide a neat, fresh impression for a long time. Thanks to zone 1–2, the plant is suitable for perennial plantings.Flowering period: IV–IX (April to September)Flower colour: blueWinter hardiness: Zone 1 - 2Pot: approx. 18 cmPlant specificationsThey quickly close gaps at the edge of the pond and create a natural, soft transition between water and 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 damp areas.Technical data:Botanical name: Mazus reptans (blue)German name: Creeping MazusHeight: 10 - 15 cmPlanting depth: Bank zoneFlowering period: VI–IXWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1/2 With Mazus reptans blue you get a reliable ground cover for damp locations – ideal for landscaping around the garden pond. Especially at the banks, in the marsh zone or along streams, small gaps often occur 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). In this way, Mazus reptans brings bright accents to the border planting for many months and at the same time looks neat, without you having to constantly replant or touch up. The white flowers fit into virtually any pond design – whether naturalistic or more modern – and can be easily combined with taller waterside plants. This makes Mazus particularly suitable as a "carpet" in the foreground, while structure-giving pond plants complete the picture behind it.For placement at the garden pond we recommend a location that stays evenly damp. Plant the Mazus where you want a dense finish – for example at the pond edge, between stones or at the edge of stepping stones. This not only keeps the bank zone visually calmer, it also appears more stable and less "torn up". As there is no information on height, planting depth and pot size, these points remain neutral; in practice, the main thing is a damp, suitable location at the edge.Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive with you healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes 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 Mazus reptans white at the pond edge where you want to break up "hard edges" – e.g. between stones or along the liner edge. If the location becomes temporarily drier in summer, a thin layer of fine gravel or mulch at the edge will help to keep the soil moist for longer.

Cyperus alternifolius – Cyprus grass for pond edgeCyperus alternifolius (Umbrella Plant) is a striking structural plant with umbrella-shaped growth for the garden pond. With a height of 60–80 cm, it adds height and clear lines to the shore and shallow water zones. It is suitable for planting at depths of 0 to –15 cm, and flowers from May to July (V–VII).Flowering period: V–VII (May to July)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 18 cmPlant specifications: Its distinctive umbrella-shaped growth adds a modern, neat accent at the pond edge.The planting depth of 0 to –15 cm means the Cyprus grass can be flexibly positioned in edge and shallow water areas.The 18 cm pot ensures a stable start and makes planting by the pond easier.Technical data:Botanical name: Cyperus alternifoliusGerman name: Cyprus grass (Umbrella Plant)Height (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: V–VIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 18 cmWith Cyperus alternifolius (Cyprus grass / Umbrella Plant), you introduce a pond edge plant to your garden that immediately stands out for its emphatic umbrella-shaped silhouette. 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. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant ideal for the shore and shallow water area. 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.
