Astilbes

astilbes

Astilbes
Astilbes, with their attractive feathery foliage and colours from white throught to pink and red are still very popular. Heights range from 20cm to 90cm. A damp soil is ideal, yet one finds them growing well in a herbaceous border where the soil is a little moist

Bog Primulas

Bog Plants
Bog Primulas flower in a wide range of colours and shapes. They require moist soil possibly close to the pond of a rich organic nature. It is always best to let them seed freely before cutting the dead flower heads off. The more seedlings that grow, the merrier! If you can get them to naturalise, they are wonderful in drifts.

Containers

Plant Containers
These high quality plastic pond plant containers are made of a fine mesh and therefore do not need lining. They make planting out your pond easy and are highly recommended.

Deep Marginal

Deep Marginal Plants
As their name suggests, these grow in deeper water than marginals. The depth differs with each variety. Some are ideal for tubs and sinks, others are only for large ponds and lakes. Choose carefully!

Ferns

ferns

Ferns
Out of our range of ferns we supply, some are said to want drier positions than others. On our nursery, they have to 'muck in' with the ones that want moist conditions close to the ponds. They don't complain!
Why not create a fernery in a corner of your garden. It will give you a lot of pleasure.

Floating Plants

Floating Plants
These help to cut out a certain amount of light entering the water of the pond, which in turn, helps to prevent the water turning green. The Eichornia, Hydrocharis, L. Polyrhiza and Pistia are generally not available until May. Some varieties may grow abundantly in certain positions. Normally they are easy to control.

Hostas

Hostas
There is an enormous range of hostas now available to the gardener. We stock just a few, but are always adding new varieties to our list. They adore deep rich loam which is fairly moist, although they will tolerate a position in the herbaceous border. They are grown for their foliage which varies greatly in colour, shape and size. Flowers are normally white or shades of blue.

Oxygenating Plants
These palnts play a very essential role in any pond as they assist in the balance of the pond. Technically, there are many reasons. One is the release of oxygen during daylight hours, benefitting the fish population.

Snails

Water Snails
Snails do not help keep the pond water clear. They do, however, keep at bay a certain amount of rotting vegetation and any decomposing food in the pond that may go unnoticed. One snail can be introduced for every 2sq.ft. of surface water of the pond.
