Why choose native marginal pond plants? Here are some benefits of using native plants for your pond:
- They are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, so they are more likely to thrive and require less maintenance.
- They provide food and shelter for a variety of pond wildlife, such as frogs, newts, dragonflies, bees, and birds.
- They help to improve the water quality and oxygen levels, by filtering out pollutants and excess nutrients.
- They add colour and beauty to your pond, with their diverse shapes, sizes, and flowers.
The particular plants you are sent are chosen by us on the basis of the quality of the specimens at that time. Please see a list below of all possible plants for your chosen selection.
