Wild
Flower Plant Collection of
Pond Marginals
late March to October only
Late spring/early summer is usually
considered the best time to establish marginal plants when the
temperature is rising - they will establish more quickly and
successfully then.
Bog garden plants on the other hand can be
planted at any time of the year so long as the ground isn’t frozen.
It is best to plant from autumn to late spring as the plants are less
likely to dry out then (main cause of failure) and can get established
before the summer.
This collection consists of wild flower plug
plants or bare rooted plants which are native to the UK.
They are suitable for planting in
the shallows of a pond between a depth of 10cm and 45cm. If you
would like plants suitable for planting around the edge of a pond where
the soil is wet, but the plants will not be submerged for prolonged
periods, please select the Bog
Plant Collection.
They should
be planted out into a suitable location as soon as you receive them.
The collection will be selected from the best quality plants available
at the time of your order. The plants may be bare root or plug
depending on availability. You will receive at least 6 different varieties (ie 2 of
each when ordering 12 plants, 4 of each if ordering 24 etc). Your
