Technical data:

Botanical name: Iris kaempferi
German name: Japanese Iris
Planting depth: 0 to -15 cm
Flowering time: V-VII (May to July)
Winter hardiness: Zone 1/2
Pot: approx. 9 cm

With Iris kaempferi (Japanese iris), you can create a particularly stylish garden pond: the purple flowers look elegant and create a clear accent that contrasts beautifully with green plants along the banks. The edges of ponds in particular often have areas that are evenly moist and are ideal for iris species. Japanese iris is an attractive choice here if you are looking for a plant that provides structure and at the same time creates a seasonal highlight with its flowers.

The Japanese iris reaches a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm. This makes it perfect for the centre to background of a pond edge planting: low ground cover or shallow water plants in front, with the iris behind as a "frame" that gives depth to the pond edge. The flowering period from May to July (V-VII) ensures that your pond looks particularly attractive in the early to middle gardening season. Planted in small groups, it creates a calm, two-dimensional effect; planted individually, it becomes a focal point. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes Iris kaempferi ideal for damp border areas. It can be planted directly in moist bank soil or - depending on the pond structure - positioned in a very shallow area. A planting basket is often practical for a clean, controllable pond edge because the plant is stable and can be repositioned if necessary.

Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Japanese iris is suitable for perennial ponds and is a good addition if you want to create a permanent shoreline with clear flower accents.

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 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: Place the Japanese iris so that it is clearly visible from your favourite viewing angle - purple flowers look particularly beautiful when they are slightly reflected in the water. Place them at a depth of 0 to -15 cm or in permanently moist soil and combine with low ground cover plants at the front to show the iris to its best advantage.

Marsh marigold (9 cm) – Caltha palustris

Acorus calamus – sweet flag for pond edges & shallow waterCaltha palustris is a classic spring-flowering plant for the garden pond and adds bright splashes of colour with its yellow flowers from March to May (III–V). Reaching 30–40 cm in height, it is ideal for the pond edge and damp margins. It is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zone 1–2.Flower colour: yellowFlowering period: III–V (March to May)Height: approx. 30–40 cmPot size: approx. 9cmPlant specifications: They bring vibrant colour to the pond edge as early as spring – just when many other pond plants are still holding back.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the marsh marigold is ideally suited to banks and shallow water edge areas.Thanks to zone 1–2, it is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Caltha palustrisEnglish name: Marsh marigoldHeight (cm): 30 / 40 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: III–VWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Caltha palustris (marsh marigold), you will have one of the most popular spring-flowering plants at your garden pond. As the garden comes back to life after winter, it provides a radiant focal point by the water with its yellow flowers from March to May (III–V). Especially at the pond edge, this is particularly valuable: many marginal plants only really start to grow strongly later on – the marsh marigold, on the other hand, brings early colour and appears natural and harmonious.With a growth height of approx. 30 to 40 cm the plant is ideal for the foreground to midground. It fits beautifully on pond margins, in damp border beds or areas that are permanently fresh to wet. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water edge zone: directly in moist soil at the edge or standing slightly in water. Caltha palustris looks particularly attractive when set in small groups – this creates a calm, natural area that visually softens the pond edge.Delivery in a 9-cm pot makes planting easier. If you want a very clear pond margin or want to keep the position flexible, a planting basket is a practical solution: this keeps the marsh marigold stable in the desired place and allows it to be easily moved if necessary.Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2, Caltha palustris is suitable for permanently designed pond installations in many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for easy-care, natural pond edge planting.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by the postal service or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken stems. We do not accept any liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant the marsh marigold where you often walk past in spring – it’s a perfect starting point for the pond season. If your water level fluctuates greatly in spring, place the plant in the planting basket at 0 to –15 cm so it stays stable and takes root reliably.

It is especially attractive in group plantings or as a calm background for flowering marsh plants.

For good establishment, it is advisable to place the plant securely after planting and choose the location so that it has enough space to develop.Important note: Please do not plant this plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes, as aquatic plants can spread depending on the environment. We pack your plants with great care to ensure they arrive healthy. Nevertheless, minor transport damage may occasionally occur during postal shipping (e.g. brown leaves or bent shoots). Such cosmetic damage is generally not critical for establishment.Zoo-Roco tip: If you are planting cattails in the pond, place them in a planting basket and limit the root area. This keeps the bank area neat, and you can easily move or divide the plant if required.

Two purple water iris flowers (Iris versicolor) are shown in rich detail. The lower petals display white and yellow stripes that contrast with the deep purple. Elegant stems against a soft green riverside backdrop.

Water iris (9 cm) – Iris versicolor

Iris versicolor – Water iris for pond edge & bankIris versicolor is an elegant marginal plant whose upright growth clearly structures the pond edge. With a height of 60–80 cm, it is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone and flowers from May to July (V–VII). It can be planted at a depth of 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zone 1–2.Flowering period: V–VII (May to July)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9cmSpecifications for the plant:They give your garden pond a neat, natural frame and bring height to the bankside planting.The flowering period V–VII provides an attractive seasonal highlight by the water in early to late summer.Thanks to planting depth 0 to –15 cm, the water iris can be placed flexibly in damp edge areas and very shallow zones.Technical data:Botanical name: Iris versicolorGerman name: Water irisHeight (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: V–VIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Iris versicolor (Water iris / Water Iris), you are choosing a classic marginal plant for your garden pond that combines structure and naturalness. Especially at pond edges, an iris with its upright, sword-shaped leaves ensures clear lines: it frames the pond, segments the marginal zone, and makes the transition between water surface and garden visually harmonious.Thanks to the growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm , Iris versicolor is particularly suitable for the mid- to background of pond edge planting, behind lower ground covers or flat-growing marginal plants. The flowering period from May to July (V–VII) brings the desired seasonal highlight to the pond. This means that in early summer, the marginal area is not only green but also gains a flowering accent that unfolds particularly beautifully by the water. For a harmonious overall appearance, planting in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank is recommended. This creates a calm rhythm that makes the pond appear seamless.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Iris versicolor ideal for damp marginal zones and very shallow areas. Depending on pond construction, place the plant in damp bank earth or position it firmly in the shallow water area. The 9-cm pot is practical if you want to use several plants for a uniform marginal effect. For a neat, manageable pond edge, a planting basket is often a good solution – this keeps the water iris where it works best and allows for easy relocation if necessary. Thanks to zone 1–2, Iris versicolor is winter-hardy and thus well suited to perennial pond schemes. A solid choice if you wish to establish a long-lasting, beautiful marginal area with clear structure and seasonal flowering at your garden pond.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, minimal damage may occur to plants in the post or through other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent shoots. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo-Roco tip: Plant Iris versicolor so that the plant is visible from your main vantage point – it looks best when the leaves ‘trace’ the edge and the growth is reflected slightly in the water. If you wish to test the location, start at 0 to –5 cm and lower the plant further to –15 cm if necessary.

At a height of 60-80 cm, it is ideal as a structuring plant in the background of low border plantings. It is suitable for planting depths of 0 to -15 cm and is hardy in zones 1-2.Flowering time: V-VIII (May to August)Flower colour: redWinter hardiness: Zone 1 - 2Pot: approx. 9 cmPlant specifications:They create a clear, red eye-catcher at the edge of the pond and visibly enliven the shoreline.Thanks to its planting depth of 0 to -15 cm, the cardinal lobelia is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone.Zone 1-2 makes it suitable for perennial pond design in many regions.Technical data:Botanical name: Lobelia cardinalisGerman name: Cardinal lobeliaPlanting depth: 0 to -15 cmFlowering time: V-VIIIWinter hardiness: Zone 1/2Pot: approx. 9 cmWith Lobelia cardinalis (cardinal lobelia), you are bringing a pond edge plant into your garden that can do one thing above all else: Show its colours. The bright red flowers make it the ideal eye-catcher around the garden pond - especially where many green and yellow tones dominate and a clear accent is desired. Due to its growth height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, it adds structure to the bank planting and is ideal as a background plant, in front of which lower ground cover and shallow water plants come into their own.The specified flowering period from May to August (V-VIII) ensures that your pond edge will look lively for a long time. For a harmonious overall look, we recommend planting in small groups or as a recurring element along the shoreline. This creates a natural, well thought-out design without the pond edge becoming unruly. The cardinal lobelia looks particularly attractive when the flowers are slightly above the waterline - the colour is reflected in the water and enhances the effect.With a recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm, Lobelia cardinalis is ideal for the edge and shallow water zone. Depending on the pond structure, place the plant directly in moist bank soil or in a very shallow water area. A plant basket can help to keep the position stable and make it easier to move the plant if necessary - especially if you want to adapt the design seasonally. Thanks to zone 1-2, the cardinal lobelia is suitable for many regions and is an exciting choice if you want to create a permanent pond edge but still want to work with clear colour accents.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: It is best to place Lobelia cardinalis in the shallow water zone so that the roots are evenly moist (0 to -15 cm) - this ensures stable growth. For a particularly attractive look, place the plant where it can be reflected in the water and combine it in the foreground with low ground cover plants at the edge of the pond.

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.

The variegated calamus is ideal for visually calming the transition between the water surface and the garden: It looks natural, but remains compact and controllable. This plant is a particularly harmonious choice in places where you want clean lines - for example along pond edges, in shallow bays or in small shoreline areas.The ideal place is in the shore to shallow water zone. The specified planting depth of 0 to -15 cm allows for flexible use: directly on the moist edge or standing slightly in the water. Thanks to its height of approx. 20 to 30 cm, the calamus remains pleasantly low so that it does not obstruct the view of the water surface. At the same time, it provides structure between higher-growing bank plants and lower ground cover plants.The variegated calamus is particularly valuable in pond design because it combines well with many other pond and marsh plants. It is suitable for both naturalistic planting schemes and more modern pond designs that emphasise clear shapes and calm areas. Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, it is also suitable for perennial pond edge planting. The plant is supplied in a pot (approx. 10 cm). For easy handling around the pond, we recommend using it in a plant basket - depending on the structure - so that the location remains stable and you can easily move the plant if necessary.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 (e.g. brown leaves or broken shoots). We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.Zoo Roco tip: Place the variegated calamus in the most beautiful spot where you walk past it every day: It looks particularly elegant when planted in small groups and its fine leaves are reflected in the water. For more control, we recommend using a planting basket - this will keep the edges neat and you can easily divide or reposition the plant later.

Ensure the soil is well-drained and free from waterlogging. During dry spells, regular watering helps to ensure the plant remains evenly supplied with moisture. If Bketilla is grown in a pot, good drainage is essential; in winter, a sheltered spot may be advisable.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive at your address healthy and undamaged.

This keeps the plants well under control, is easy to care for, and allows them to be easily moved or harvested if necessary. Only healthy, clean leaves should be harvested for culinary use and washed thoroughly before use. Only use plants from controlled cultivation and not from ponds with fish medications, fertiliser residues or unknown water quality.
