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.
NOTE: 4″ pots must be transplanted to 8″ pots or larger.
