HARDY SHALLOW WATER PLANTS
At the edge of natural ponds there is often a profusion of rushes and other marginal plants. In order to make
the pool more attractive, we suggest the addition of some of these hardy varieties.
Hardy shallow water and bog plants are available bare root, 4" pots, or 8" pots. Due to the large size and
weight 8" pots are available for pick up only.
For Planting/Transplanting Information on Hardy Shallow Water Plants pages 36-37.
For Overwintering Information on Hardy Shallow Water Plants see page 40-41.
Note: 4" pots must be transplanted to 8" pots or larger
