Floating Marginal Baskets

Floating pond plant baskets are a practical and easy way to grow marginal pond plants in ponds without planting shelves. Designed to float on the water’s surface, these baskets allow you to add interest and plant life to any pond or water feature without repotting.

Each basket features a durable stitched ring and a netted base that allows pond water to circulate freely, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the plant roots. Simply place your potted marginal plant into the basket and float it directly on the surface of your pond.

These floating baskets are ideal for lower-growing pond plants such as Slender Club Rush (Isolepis cernua), Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia), Water Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis scorpioides), and Corkscrew Rush (Juncus effusus 'Spiralis'). Taller plants are not recommended, as they may cause the basket to become unstable in windy conditions.

Floating baskets can be linked together to create a floating island, which enhances visual appeal and provides additional habitat for pond wildlife. The surrounding foliage offers resting spots for birds and insects, supporting a healthy and wildlife-friendly garden pond.

Available in two sizes:

• 25cm basket – suitable for 1 litre pond plants
• 35cm basket – suitable for 3 litre pond plants

Do not plant directly into the netting. Simply place the whole potted plant into the basket and float it on the surface of your pond. Suitable for small ponds, container ponds, and natural wildlife ponds.
