Floating plants are one of the easiest ways to create instant interest and natural balance in your pond. Resting freely on the water’s surface, they provide shade, reduce excess light that fuels algae, and offer safe resting spots for insects and amphibians. Ideal for small patio ponds, larger containers, or wildlife-friendly garden ponds, these UK-grown species help create a softer, more natural look without the need for planting baskets. Our carefully selected floating plants are chosen for reliability and ecological value, making them perfect for beginners and experienced pond keepers alike. Explore the range to add effortless greenery and habitat to your pond.

Floating plants work best when combined with oxygenating plants beneath the surface, helping to maintain clear, healthy water while providing valuable shade above. Browse our Oxygenating Plants to support a naturally balanced pond ecosystem.
