Newt-Friendly Pond Plants

Creating a pond that attracts newts is simple. Include a mix of soft-leaved aquatic plants for egg-laying, oxygenators to keep water healthy, and waterlilies for shade and shelter. These essential pond plants provide the perfect breeding conditions for newts while supporting a thriving, balanced ecosystem.

By planting a diverse mix of oxygenators, marginals, and floating plants, you’ll create the ideal habitat for newts to thrive while also improving water quality and attracting beneficial insects. Whether you're establishing a wildlife pond or enhancing an existing one, choosing the right plants for ponds will provide newts with the ideal habitat while boosting biodiversity in your garden.
