A Guide to Pond Plants

Aquatic pond plants really bring a pond to life - not only do they greatly enhance the natural beauty of your pond, but they also play an essential role in maintaining the health of its water and inhabitants.

Step By Step Guide To Planting Pond Plants

Follow our step by step guide to successfully planting or replanting pond plants. Before we start, we will answer a few frequently asked questions.

Will floating pond plants come back every year?

It must be noted that a few of them will only survive one season in this country as they are imported from warmer climates, but they should spread during the summer making a good investment. Alternatively there are some native floating plants such as the popular Water Soldier, which will come back each year adding shade and cover to your pond

World of Water has a range of floating water plants for ponds to buy both in-store and online. All our floating pond plants are hand-picked to ensure you get the highest quality plants for your pond.
