Our curated collection of hand-picked plants will help to create the perfect setting in your garden, allowing you full enjoyment of your pond as well as helping resident or visiting wildlife.

The perfect way to fill your pond with colourful and functional plants with no effort at all, our Starter Pond Plant Collection contains a mix of 6 of the most useful plants to give you a complete range, suitable for most ponds.

Curated to get your pond up and running in next to no time, this mix is perfect if you're new to ponds and are not sure where to start or if you have an existing pond and want to add more plants. We've done the work for you and put together this collection to help you get the right balance in your pond.

Top Tips
When planting, if you don’t have shelves in your pond for the pots to be placed on, they can be stood on bricks to raise them up to the correct height.
Care Information
  • You can plant up your pond at any time of the year, although the best time for most pond plants is late winter to early spring, just as they're starting into new growth.
  • Plants are best planted into special aquatic containers which have mesh sides to allow water and oxygen to get to the roots of the plant. This will help restrict the growth of the plants and makes looking after them easier.
  • Use specialist aquatic compost as this is low in certain nutrients so will not encourage algal growth.
  • To help anchor the plant in place, add a layer of stones to the bottom of the container. Once the plant is in its new container, cover the top of the compost with a thin layer of grit to prevent the soil floating out when you submerge it.
  • Water the pot well to settle it.
  • Place the filled container into your pond at the correct depth - if you don’t have shelves in your pond, stand the pots on bricks to raise them up to the correct height.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
