Water Gardens

From spring through fall we carry a full line of water plants for water gardens.

Bog plants such as Water Iris, Pickerel, Cyperus, Sagittarias and unusual Taros can be used on the margins of ponds partially submerged.

Oxygenating plants such as Anacharis, Valisnerias, and Hornwort are essential for keeping your pond healthy.

Floating plants such as Azolla, Water Hyacinths and Water Lettuce provide essential shade cover to the pond’s surface as do the leaves of Water Lilies and their relatives.

We stock both hardy and tropical Waterlily varieties. Some of our most popular tropical water lilies include the highly variegated foliage on the varieties Pink Perfection (pink) and Madame Ganna Walska (purple).

Favorite hardy lilies include Gloriosa (dark pink), Colorado (salmon) and Joey Tomocik (yellow) and the true miniature Pygmy Helvola (yellow).
