Planting schemes for ponds available

If you are unsure what to order then let us help with a prepared pond planting scheme.

To get our help with Planting Schemes for ponds all you need to know is the surface area of your pond.

• 5 different sized Planting Schemes for wildlife ponds.
• Selection of plants chosen is based on the size of your pond.
• A combination of plants will give a balanced selection for all depths of pond water.
• Interest in foliage and flower throughout the season.
• We consider different wildlife habitats - rafting shelf plants for newts, upright shelf plants for dragonflies, late flowering plants for insect pollinators.
• You choose whether to have 'Mainly British Native plants', 'British Native plants only' or 'Any plant' in our range.
• 'Mainly British Native plants' will have some Non-British Native plants included to keep in size and scale with the pond and give long season interest.
• Please read our blog post on Plants for bugs which shows RHS research finds that Non Native plants can extend the season of interest in the pond if carefully added to your pond plant mix.
• 'Any plant' selections are more colourful - you can tell us in General Comments if you want a yellow, pink or red waterlily.
