Garden Plants for Pondside Planting

These pondside plants aren’t aquatic, but they thrive in the soil around a pond, in damp borders, shady corners or wildlife-friendly beds. They add colour, structure and year-round interest while supporting frogs, newts, bees and butterflies moving in and out of the pond.

Whether you're planting a small wildlife pond or shaping a larger garden, these hardy border plants help you create a beautiful, blended pond–garden habitat that looks cohesive and feels alive.

All grown in trusted UK nurseries and chosen for reliability, biodiversity and effortless garden impact.
