Medium Native Pond Packs

Bare root pond packs are typically available from late March to late May only, after that plants are available only potted except by special request. This is because bare root plants establish really fast in early Spring but some do less well later in the season, when we recommend using potted plants for best results.

The Medium Native Pond Packs are suitable for ponds 4-6 square metres area, max depth 60cm and shelves up to 15cm deep. They include the following 12 marginal plant varieties, one floating plant, ten oxygenator bunches and 12 baskets, please check that this basket size is suitable for your pond shelves. Alternative baskets can be provided on request at additional cost, or if you prefer the pack can be ordered without baskets at a lower cost (see options) and baskets purchased separately.
