Complete 2013 Pond Plant List

The plant list that you see below, is a complete list of all the plants that we are selling this year. That's not to say that they will all be in stock at all times, or that we won't sell some new varieties if we get them in. It's merely a list of all the plants we sell located on one page, for your convenience - so you won't have to search our entire site for them. Please Note that prices are not included in this list. For all current pricing, please click on one of the links (in our left-hand nav bar) under the "Pond Plants and Related Supplies" category.

All plants are alive and healthy when shipped....and with the exception of lotus, are not dormant plants. Water lilies are living, rooted plants that are cut from larger "mother" plants....they are not boxed or dormant plants. Submerged plants, unless otherwise specified, are sold as bunched "tip" cuttings (rooted or unrooted), and usually are shipped with metal weights attached.

All water lilies are shipped bare-root, with all the soil washed from their roots and have at least 3 to 5-leaves on them. Most marginals are shipped rooted in soil and grown in 2" mesh pots....that doesn't mean the plants are small though, as some are over 3' tall. Lotus are usually shipped bare-root and dormant, in bags filled with "dry" sphagnum moss. If they have begun to break dormancy in late spring, they'll be shipped in wet newspaper. Unless otherwise specified, aquarium and submerged plants are sold rooted or unrooted, and in the case of submerged pond plants, in bunched cuttings.

In 2005 we added a new selection to our list of tropical (marginal) plants....Dwarf Giant Papyrus. It was only available for sale in 4" pots until last year when we began offering them in 2" pots. With its exotic looks and compact growth, it has quickly become our most requested plant introduction in recent years. They're still available in limited supply, so get yours early....as we usually sell out of all of our stock early in the season.

We have an enormous list of true-aquarium plants to choose from. This year, we'll be stocking (6) new, true-aquatic plants for the aquarium. These first six plants are the most popular plants that our customers have asked for over the years. We'll be adding more plants to this list as time and space permits.

If you don't see any of the aquarium plants that you're looking for, email us us with your requests and we will do our best to get them for you. Note: "Custom" aquarium plant orders must be ordered in minimum quantities of 6-plants or bunches (same variety / same color).

Winter Plant Shipping Note: Due to colder weather that may be present in your area, all plant orders purchased between January 1st and May 1st are held for shipment at a later, more weather appropriate time for your area....sometime after March 15th. Please....We encourage you to request an appropriate shipping date (for your geographical area) when you place your order. .

Aquarium Plants Click on link above to purchase "Aquarium" plants
True-Aquarium plants are shipped "bare-root" with all the soil washed off of them or as potted plants. Aquarium / Submerged plants are shipped as rooted or unrooted cuttings in bunches of 6 or more cuttings (unless otherwise specified); single bare-rooted plants; or as a single strand.

Though some of these plants will perform well in your outdoor pond, most are considered tropical by nature and need a little extra (indoor) care.

Bunched plants come with or without, banded-metal weights attached to them. If preferred, you can request to have them shipped with or without the metal weights. Note: These metal weights are made of a magnesium / zinc alloy and are said to be harmless to fish, plants and other aquatic life in the pond.
