Planting schemes for patio container ponds (pond-in-a-pot) for sunny or shaded sites to purchase as a collection. Also startup planting schemes for ponds of various sizes and a native plant scheme collection.
Any small space on a patio or decking area can be used for an attractive water feature. A planted container - our lightweight fibreglass containers or one you already possess - either a wooden barrel, small Butler sink or on a larger scale a recycled tin bath can house a container planting scheme.
The container should be 12" deep at least so that a miniature water lily will sit on the bottom and be protected from the ice in winter.
Each of our planting collections contains oxygenating plants and a selection of plants to give a spread of interest across the seasons and suitable cover across the water surface of your container feature.
To plant our bowl shaped containers with a planting scheme easily we use the Plant Support Ring. See pond products
As the container ponds are a small volume of water to help keep them free from algae growth we recommend Extract of Barleystraw. Additionally the plants will benefit from a combined pond feed supplement with Extract of Barleystraw in following years - Plant Food Plus. Buy online on Pond Products.
The planting schemes for Pond startup will provide you with a balanced collection to put into your selected sized pond as a basis for your pond planting.
A Native scheme is also available that concentrates on British native plants and is ideal for gardens trying to maintain a high content of Native varieties and with a balance that will encourage wildlife into the pond area.
Schools looking to bring wildlife into the school environment will find the planting collections a useful way of quickly getting the balance and flowering interest correct in the different areas of the pond that will encourage the arrival of wildlife to the water area.
