Flowering Marginal Plants

Flowering Marginal Plants

Flowering marginal plants add height, colour and structure to your pond, creating a stunning spectacle throughout spring and summer. Perfect for planting on the pond's marginal shelf, these plants attract wildlife such as frogs, newts, dragonflies, and pollinators while enhancing your pond's natural beauty. With a mix of native and non-native varieties, flowering marginals are ideal for bringing vibrant blooms and life to ponds of all sizes.
