Use and Care Manual

We want you to be successful in growing your pond plants

and use top quality components to enhance the experience.

Pond plant marginals (sometimes called bog plants) are

essential in creating a healthy ecosystem in your pond. While

they rely on pond water for nutrients, they improve water

quality by extracting excess detrimental nutrients from the

pond environment before they can accumulate, and they also

provide oxygen. These colorful, exotic, lush plants, grow in the

shallow water or saturated soil around the rim or margins of a

pond where the water meets the hand. Though the roots grow

underwater, the majority of the plant grows and lives out and

above the water. Our water plant kits come with everything

needed to grow your plant: basket, fabric basket liner, plant,

medium, gravel and fertilizer. Bog plants and marginals along

the edge of the water garden, stream bed, or waterfall will

give your pond a more natural look. What is a pond without

pond plants?

About This Variety: Japanese Iris Ensata Royal Banner is a large, flowering, beardless Iris and one of the last Irises to bloom during the season. It is very showy when planted by the side of a pond. The flowers are purple with a bright yellow center. It does not tolerate dry conditions well. The flowers are fragrant and can be used as cut flowers. Growing Instructions: Spring to summer is a good time to plant, as the water is warming up the plants should establish well.
