Apart from their beauty and lovely scent, water lilies provide much needed shade not only for fish and their spawn but help to reduce solar light levels. This reduction in sunlight helps to reduce algae.Please note that lilies are sent out bareroot.
With the exception of some sedges and rushes, plants in this category will grow and thrive at depths greater than the marginals. In ponds without lilies to provide shade, deeper water plants provide a good alternative and will tolerate partial shade and some splashing.
These plants spend their time floating in the pond removing nutrients from the water and providing shade. Some species are hardy, others are imported and treated as annuals so are not available until May onwards.
Oxygenating plants have a number of other important roles: oxygenation conditions the water and helps to reduce algae by taking up dissolved nutrients. They provide and excellent source of shade for fish and their spawn.
Plants in the marginal category grow well in depths up to 1.5 feet. To minimise algae plant in pea gravel or compost and reduce the amount of nutrients used. We supply marginal plants with bare roots (root ball protected) to reduce transport costs.
Plants in this category thrive in the wet conditions especially around the edge of a pond. We supply moisture loving and bog plants with bare roots (root ball protected) to reduce transport costs.
