Marginal shelf plants for ponds:
- Can be upright (emergent) or horizontal (rafting) across the water surface.
- Potted aquatic marginal pond plants will quickly add foliage, colour and habitats for wildlife to the edge of the pond area
- Place 3 x 1 litre baskets per metre length on a marginal pond plant shelf
- Use more marginal pond plants if the shelf is wide or if a full look is required quickly.
Water depth is vital to marginal shelf pond plants:
- Place pond plants on the pond shelf at the correct depth for each plant variety
- The depth required is on the ticket received with each plant type sent by us as depth over the top of the basket.
- Too deep and marginal plants will not thrive, too shallow and other marginal plants will not receive the ice protection they require.
If you are planting a new pond you also need Oxygenating plants which grow under the water & Water lilies for the water surface. Or you can choose a Pond Planting scheme where we choose the plants for your pond for you.

according to the depth of shelf they require.
