Ten Container planting schemes to chose from:
- 6 for the 60cm pond and
- 6 for the 80cm pond
- Some Container Planting Schemes suitable for sunny and others for shaded conditions. Sunny schemes contain miniature Waterlilies and Iris, shaded Planting Schemes are more foliage based.
You can also choose your own plant selection via the Pond Plant and Waterlily pages. Always remember to add an Oxygenating pond plant to keep the water fresh even though it will be submerged and out of view.
As the container ponds have only a small volume of water, we recommend Barley Bio Algae Control to inhibit greenwater and algae growth - 1 x 10ml measure added fortnightly in Spring and Autumn and weekly in the warmer Summer months and Pond Revive on setup.
