Flowering bog plants are the icing on the cake for your water garden by adding color and shape. You want your watergarden to look lush and vigorous be sure to plant PLENTY of these to show off all of your hard work. Our plants are grown in 2" net pots to insure good root development. 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.
THE KEY TO BIG PLANTS AND BLOOMS IS FERTILIZER - FERTILIZER - FERTILIZER ONCE A MONTH!
This is especially critical for water lilies, lotus and flowering plants.
The fertilizer we sell was developed specifically for nursery use.
