When Should You Plant Pond Plants

When thinking about planting in your pond, the best time to do this is during spring or early summer months. This is because of the water being warmer and the plants are ready to bloom. Planting in the spring allows your plants more time to get established, however you can plant anytime throughout the growing season.

What plants should I put in my new pond?

Tall marginal plants such as rushes and reeds should be planted along the back edge so as not to obscure the view of your pond, while smaller, flowering marginal plants should be placed towards the front for maximum effect.

How long should you leave a pond before adding plants?

If you only have tap water to use for your pond, leave it in a bucket at room temperature for 24 hours before adding it to your pond to allow the chlorine to dissipate.
