The Running Marsh Flower is a unique looking aquatic plant that spreads across substrate with runners. This makes is great for aquariums giving a carpet look to the bottom of the tank. The River Buttercup can tolerate low-light conditions but the more sunlight it receives the denser it will grow. River buttercup has deeply cut umbrella-like foliage and produces yellow flowers on tall stalks above foliage in Spring and Summer.

Pond Plants are always a great addition to any pond. They compete with the algae for nutrients which helps to keep the pond clean. Having multiple plants can be an effective way of filtering the water but you generally need to have half the water surface covered to have a noticeable change. This also depends on certain factors such as type of fish and location of the pond. As well as filtering the water, pond plants help to oxygenate the water during the day.  

Our Pond Plants can come in two main pot sizes, 140mm ($12.95) or 200mm ($20.00) pot. The 140mm pots are generally always in stock but the larger 200mm pots are not always available. Seasonal plants are not generally available during dormancy. Please check for availability.
