With a height of 20–30 cm, the plant stays low and is ideal for the foreground.Flower colour: light pinkFlowering period: III–V (March to May)Height: approx. 20–30 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications: They provide visible colour accents at the garden pond as early as spring – just when many pond plants are only beginning to sprout.The compact height keeps a clear view of the water surface and provides a neat look along the shoreline.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the primrose can be placed flexibly in damp border areas.Technical data:Botanical name: Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’Common name: Japanese primroseHeight (cm): 20 / 30 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: III–VWinter hardiness: Zone 1Pot size: 9 cmWith Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’, you add a charming spring-flowering plant at the garden pond that clearly enhances damp border areas. Especially around ponds, the start of the season is decisive: While many marginal plants are still developing in spring, this primrose already adds colour from March to May (III–V). This makes the pond edge look tidy and lively early in the year – ideal if you would like your garden pond to be an eye-catcher right from the start of the season.The plant remains pleasantly compact at around 20 to 30 cm in height. As such, it is ideal for the foreground of the marginal planting, for damp border beds, or as a colourful accent between stones and stepping stones. ‘Appleblossom’ has a particularly harmonious effect when you place several plants in small groups: This results in a calm, natural look and emphasises the shoreline without visually closing off the water surface.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm gives you flexibility in placement. In practice, the Japanese primrose is ideal in damp shoreline soil or in very shallow marginal zones, where the soil remains evenly fresh. The 9 cm pot is perfect if you want to plant several for a quick visible effect. If water levels fluctuate, a small plant basket can be useful to keep the plant stable and the location tidy.Thanks to Zone 1, Primula japonica ‘Appleblossom’ is winter-hardy and therefore suitable for perennial pond-edge arrangements. An appealing choice if you want to make the pond edge attractive not just in summer but already in spring.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged. Despite all due care, plants may be slightly damaged by postal transport or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as broken stems. We do not accept liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant ‘Appleblossom’ where you often walk by in spring – it is ideal for bringing the pond edge to life early on. If your border area becomes drier at times in summer, place the primrose a little more sheltered in damp soil (rather than deeper in water) to ensure it is evenly supplied.

Eriophorum angustifolium – Cotton grass for pond edgeEriophorum angustifolium (cotton grass) brings a light, natural effect to the garden pond with its white flowers from April to June (IV–VI). With a height of 30–40 cm, it is ideal for shoreline and shallow water zones. The recommended planting depth is 0 to –15 cm; it is hardy in zone 1–2.Flower colour: whiteFlowering period: IV–VI (April to June)Height: approx. 30–40 cmPot size: approx. 9 cmSpecifications for the plant: They create an especially natural pond edge and bring an airy, “meadow-like” structure to the shoreline.The flowering period IV–VI ensures bright highlights in spring which are especially effective by the water.Thanks to zone 1–2, cotton grass is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond plantings.Technical data:Botanical name: Eriophorum angustifoliumEnglish name: Cotton grassHeight (cm): 30 / 40 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Eriophorum angustifolium (cotton grass / cottongrass), you’re choosing a plant at your garden pond that creates a particularly natural, light effect. Cotton grass is an excellent match for pond installations that are designed to look natural or where a deliberately soft shoreline is desired. Its grass-like growth brings structure to the border zone without looking heavy or dominant – ideal if you wish to keep the water’s surface optically open. The white flowers appear from April to June (IV–VI) and create bright highlights early in the year. Especially by water, these flowers look particularly attractive, as they reflect beautifully on a calm surface and “brighten up” the shoreline. With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm cotton grass is perfect for the foreground to midground: it can be easily combined with lower ground cover plants and also forms a good match next to taller marginal plants which may stand in the background. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Eriophorum angustifolium ideal for the shoreline and shallow water border zone. Plant it in moist shoreline soil or place it in very shallow water areas.If you prefer a clear pond edge or would like to keep the position flexible later, a planting basket is a practical solution – this keeps the plant exactly where it works best. Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2 cotton grass is suitable for many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for perennial planting at the pond edge. It is particularly effective if you plant several slightly offset – this creates a natural shoreline effect that harmoniously frames the pond.Note on delivery: We endeavour to ensure that our plants reach you healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, plants may be slightly damaged by postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Cotton grass looks its best when placed in small groups in the margin (0 to –15 cm) and combined with calmer green plants. If your water level fluctuates, initially place the pot a little higher and lower it step by step after the plant has established itself – in this way, the plant usually starts more reliably.

Arum italicum - arumArum italicum is a striking structural plant for moist, semi-shady to shady edges around the garden pond. At a height of 30-40 cm, it is ideal for visually structuring bank areas and closing gaps in the planting. It flowers between April and June.Flower colour: redFlowering period: IV-VI (April to June)Height: approx. 30-40 cmPot: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications:Ideal for structuring bank areas and damp garden spotsFits well in shadier pond edge zones, where classic flowering plants are often weakerSuitable for perennial design (hardy)Technical dataBotanical name: Arum italicumGerman name: ArumFlowering time: IV-VIWinter hardiness: Zone 1Height: 30 / 40 cmDepth: 0 / -40 cmWith Arum italicum (arum), you are choosing a plant for your garden pond that is particularly impressive due to its structuring effect. There are often areas around ponds that are permanently slightly damp and are also occasionally shaded - this is exactly where the arum shows its strengths. It is suitable for visually defining edge zones, calming transitions and harmoniously complementing the planting without the pond edge appearing overloaded.The plant reaches a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm and therefore fits well in the foreground to midground. Arum italicum is particularly attractive for the early season: the flowering period from April to June (IV-VI) already brings life to the edge planting when many summer-flowering pond plants are still being established. This creates a harmonious annual cycle - with an early accent that keeps your pond design interesting for longer.For the location, the specified planting depth of 0 to -40 cm is a guide value for moist areas by the water. In the garden pond, we recommend placing the plant in the moist bank zone or in an easily controllable area so that you can easily control its growth. In permanently wet areas, a stable position is important - depending on the pond structure, a plant basket can help to position the plant securely and move it if necessary. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1, Arum italicum is suitable for long-term, perennial landscaping. This makes Arum italicum an interesting choice if you are looking for robust structural plants for damp, cooler locations.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 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: In garden ponds, arum looks particularly beautiful behind low shallow-water plants, where it "builds up" the edge zone without obstructing the view of the water. Place it in the moist bank soil rather than freely in the open water - this keeps the plant stable and the edge of the pond neat.
