Water plants are among the most beautiful and diverse plants on earth. There are a huge variety of water plants in all different shapes, sizes and colors. Water plants are categorized into three main categories each with its own special features and advantages.
1. Marginals (the plants on this page) are plants that remain either on the edge of a pond/water feature or are slightly submerged. Marginals are the most diverse and beautiful of the water plants and include flowers, grasses and groundcovers in all sorts of bright and beautiful colors.
2. Oxygenators are submerged plants that provide a pond with oxygen through the natural process of photosynthesis; some oxygenators may still produce flowers and are probably the most important plant in a water environment.
3. Floaters help to keep algae and water temperatures down, keeping your pond or water feature crystal clear and healthy for all your pond wildlife.
Our plants are grown in 2" net pots to insure good root development to reduce transplant shock. Our method of growing the bog plants in this way reduces the likelihood of the plant dying back like bare root stock normally would. The size of the plant that we ship varies by variety. We try to ship plants that are semi-mature not just new starts.

* Restricted Pond Plants: Some states have restrictions or bans on pond plants. Contact your local government for a list of restricted plants. The buyer needs to be aware of any regulations on plants that may be restricted.
** Pond Plants grow differently depending on where you live: If you took pond plants of the same species and planted them in different climates each plant would grow differently. This is Mother Nature at work. We guarantee all of our plants will arrive alive and healthy. We cannot guarantee that your specific location will support long term growth. Over time and experience you will find which pond plants thrive in your USDA Zone
*** We reserve the right to substitute with like plants of equal or greater value unless you specifically request otherwise in the remarks section of your order you submit. This happens almost never though, and if it does happen it is usually in regard to floating and submerged oxygenation plants.
