Plants are one of the most important features of a pond or water garden. Not only do they enhance the beauty of your pond with lush foliage and colourful flowers, they also reduce algae growth and improve water quality by consuming nutrients from the water. Plus, they provide shelter for fish and other aquatic creatures. This is why we carry such a wide range of plants at Hydrosphere Water Gardens and Fisheries.
So no matter what type of plant you are looking for, we have something that will make a beautiful addition to your pond.
Hardy Tropical Lilies
Water lilies (Nymphaea species) are extremely valuable to the pond. They not only look great and flower well, but the floating leaves provide shade, eliminating the light needed by algae.
Tropical Lilies
Tropical Water Lilies are a magnificent addition to any size water garden. They hold their fragrant blossoms high out of the water, are available in a number of brilliant colors, and can have several exquisite blooms at a time.
Lotus
Lotus flowers are a beautiful addition to any koi pond or water garden. The lotus leaves also can provide beneficial shade for koi.
Marginals
These are shallow-water plants that live in either shallow water or very moist soil. They are grown at the edge of a pond or in water 1 – 6″ deep.
Surface
These plants either float freely on the surface of the pond to shade the water (aiding in algae control) or they are rooted in containers or soil on the bottom and send leaves up to float.
Oxygenators
These are below-the-surface plants that act as natural filters, controlling algae growth and providing a nurturing environment for fish.
