How to choose the best aquatic plants for garden ponds

The most important factor to bear in mind when choosing aquatic plants is the size of your pond. If you have a large pond, you can grow things like the yellow British native Nuphar lutea, which needs deep water and plenty of space. Smaller ponds are better with compact plants like our pink Water Lily.

For more tips, see our Frequently Asked Questions below.

What are the best aquatic plants for small ponds?

Choose compact plants such as our pink water lily or our water lily tricolour collection. These exotic blooms never fail to bring the wow factor, providing colour, interest and welcome shade to your water feature.

What are the most important plants for a pond?

The most important pond plants are those that oxygenate the water, like Ceratophyllum demersum, and those that cover it to provide shade, like Hydrocharis morsus ranae (frogbit). A combination of these plants help to keep the water fresh.

What are the best pond plants for attracting wildlife?

To attract wildlife to your pond, plant Ceratophyllum demersum to provide shelter for insects and water lilies as resting spots. Pollinator-friendly flowers like Persicaria amphibia contribute to a healthy ecosystem while plants with stems, like iris, are ideal for emerging larvae.
