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

aslo 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?
