Elevate the health and aesthetics of your pond with oxygenating pond plants, which are tailored to the changing seasons. Achieve a clear, beautiful pond with the natural oxygenating prowess of these plants, promoting optimal conditions for pond wildlife, releasing vital oxygen, maintaining bacteria levels and curbing algae growth. It can be complicated working out which plants to choose, so this collection will save you time in selection, but this mix is primarily designed for clay lined ponds though the plants could be planted up into aquatic pots for lined ponds.
Please be aware that the contents of these bunches can change each week, however they will typically contain five plants of the same variety from the following selection.

How to care for Assorted native oxygenating:
The plants will be suitable for shallow water (25cm) as well as deep water situations up to a water depth of 90cm (3ft), with those bunches weighted by straps designed to be cast into clay-lined ponds where they will root in situ. Aquatics can appear a little flaccid after their travel to you but will regenerate once submerged in water.
