In Europe this plant is mainly used in cold water aquariums. In the aquarium it is kept as an submerged plant that is not wished to grow above water surface, so it has to be cut back regularily. If you keep in a pond you need not cut it back and you can enjoy the many sky blue flowers that appear than. Water Hyssop originates from the south states of the USA, therefore it is sensitive to frost. However if planted in a depth of 30-40 cm it usualy regrows from the roots the following spring.

A plant with two different forms of appearance: in deep water it is an oxygenating and evergreen submerged plant. It shows pinnate leaves and forms large cushions under water. In shallow water though it emerges and shows in summer white umbels of flowers, in winter it becomes dormant. Don`t be fooled ...

In the 19th century the waterweed was a serious problem in Europe. After it was introduced from North America it spread to almost all kinds of waterbodies in Europe and suffocated all life there. Today the plant is by far not that aggressiv anymore but still very vigorous and definitely a bad choice ...

A plant with a very variable appearance. Its colour depends on the chemistry of the water, its appearance depends if it grows in running or stagnant water. In garden ponds it usualy covers the ground with short shoots in dark green or brown. It produces a lot of oxygene, even in winter, and ...

The opposite-leaved pondweed is probably one of the rarest pondweeds in Central Europe, so it is very rarely available in nurseries. Its demands are high: it prefers absolute unpolluted water, containing few nurtrients and - if possible - flowing. Where it is happy, it will develope large clumps. It never produces floating leaves, only the flowers and fruits can be seen above the water surface. When used in a garden pond, the best siting will be in an artifical creek.

The Mare`s Tail looks best in shallow water, for there its stalks emerge over the water surface and look like a little fir tree in the water. In deep water it looks completely different. It can`t reach the surface there and forms long soft floating stalks with very long and soft leaves. The plant can ...

There are some problems in naming this plant. We doubt that the plants currently available in Europe are correctly identified for there are at least two different plants sold as Myriophyllum aquaticum, one with green stems, the other one with red stems. We sell the one with green stems as Myriophyllum ...

It can grow deeper than most other submerged pondplants so very useful for deeper ponds. It also produces ...

A modest species. Its floating-leaves do resemble those of willow-grass, its flowers are unimpressive spikeletts above watersurface. It`s a typical collectors item. Better keep it in a container for it can run riot when planted directly into the pond.

Its white flowers appear the whole summer long. For ponds with a very high amount of nutrients disolved in the water ...
