Water plants need more than a container of water: species differ in preferred depth, light, temperature and growth habit. Before choosing plants, understand the pond or water feature, its circulation and how it will be maintained. Decor-Plants can discuss planting as part of a garden enquiry and confirm current availability directly.

Floating, marginal and submerged plants grow in different parts of a water feature. Measure the depth and identify planting shelves or containers before selecting a variety. Avoid adding a plant until its mature size and spread are understood.
Sunlight, water temperature and circulation influence plant health. A small container feature may heat up or lose water more quickly than a pond. Check the conditions through the day and account for seasonal rain and evaporation.
Some aquatic plants can spread quickly and need regular thinning. Plan how you will remove excess growth and keep the feature clean. If fish or other aquatic life are present, check plant compatibility and avoid changing the ecosystem without suitable advice.
Marginal plants typically grow at the shallow edges of ponds or water features, with roots in wet soil or shallow water. Exact depth requirements vary by species.
Some plants may suit a container feature, depending on its depth, light, water volume and maintenance. Choose varieties that will not quickly outgrow the space.
