Hydrocharis morsus-ranae (Frogbit)

A pretty little native plant with small kidney-shaped, bright green leaves and very small white flowers. They can tolerate dense shade.

Allow to die back naturally as in the autumn small buds are formed which fall off and sink to the bottom and the old plant rots away. These winter buds remain on the bottom to rise again in the spring to form new plants.

Float on the surface of water in full sun to partial shade.

Flowering period: July & August
Mature height: 0cm to 1cm
Growth rate: medium

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to buy pond plants in the UK?

Spring is the ideal time to add plants to your pond, as warmer temperatures encourage strong growth. We suggest purchasing between mid-February and March, to give your pond plants plenty of time to establish roots and adapt to their new environment before summer.

Which pond plants help oxygenate water?

Plants like hornwort and water crowfoot are excellent for boosting oxygen levels in ponds. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, helping to keep the water clean and healthy for fish and other wildlife.

How do I choose the right pond plants for my pond size?

For small ponds, select compact plants like dwarf water lilies and small irises to keep the space well-balanced without overcrowding. Large ponds benefit from a mix of floating plants like water hyacinth, which covers a broad surface, and larger water lilies that provide shade.

How can I attract more wildlife to my pond with plants?

Planting marginal plants like marsh marigold provides shelter for frogs and insects, while oxygenating plants like hornwort improve water quality, creating a healthier habitat for aquatic life. Choosing a mix of plants that bloom at different times of the year ensures your pond remains a thriving, wildlife-friendly environment throughout the seasons.
