UK Native Pond Plants
57 products
Native pond plants are vital for healthy aquatic ecosystems, each playing unique roles. Water lilies (Nymphaea alba) shade the water, sheltering fish and cooling tadpoles, while irises (Iris pseudacorus) offer perches for dragonflies. Marginal plants like brooklime (Veronica beccabunga) provide nectar for bees, and submerged hornwort (Ceratophyllum) oxygenates the water for invertebrates. Bulrushes (Typha) creates nesting sites for birds, and floating frogbit (Hydrocharis) gives cover for pond snails. Together, they filter water, prevent algae, and sustain entire food chains, from damselfly nymphs to frogs and birds. A balanced selection ensures year-round habitat, making any UK pond a wildlife haven.
