FLOATING POND PLANTS
Floating pond plants thrive in the summer months when water temperatures rise above 65ºF. The look great in streams, header ponds, or when anchored/grouped in larger quantities on the sides or corner areas of your pond. They provide excellent shelter for your fish, while removing harmful toxins from the water. Floating pond plants remove excess ammonia and fish waste from your pond. Ferry Moss, Duck Weed, Hyacinth, Pennywort, Sensitive Plant, Parrot Feather, Water Lettuce, and Frogbit are all types of floating pond plants. ***Click here for examples of floating pond plants.
 
SUBMERGED POND PLANTS
Submerged pond plants are great oxygenators for ponds with little to no water flow. They help fight algae by starving the algae from the nutrients it needs to flourish. These plants can be rapid growers and can quickly take over your entire pond. Be careful adding these plants to your pond. Once they are added, they are very difficult to remove. We only recommend these plants for stagnant ponds. ***Click here for examples of submerged pond plants.
 
BOG PLANTS
Bog plants add so much to your pond. They are unique and look great when combined with other bog plants. They should be planted in the shallowest areas of your pond. Streams, waterfalls, header ponds, or the edges of your pond are perfect for a bog plant collaboration. Types of bog plants include: Saggaterria, Cannas, Cattail, Clover, Fiber Optic, Floating Hearts, Forget Me Knot, Golden Flag, Iris, Papyrus, Pickerel, Red Ruby Runner, Taro, Rushes, Palms, and Water Celery. ***Click here for examples of bog pond plants.
