Frogbit | Hydrocharis morsus ranae

    Description

    Frogbit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae) is a charming native floating pond plant, ideal for adding natural character to wildlife and ornamental ponds. This pretty floater produces small, kidney-shaped bright green leaves that sit on the water’s surface, creating gentle cover that helps reduce light penetration and surface glare.

    In July and August, Frogbit is dotted with very small white flowers, bringing a delicate seasonal display to the pond. Thriving in full sun to part shade and with a medium growth rate, it is well suited to a wide range of UK garden pond conditions, including areas with some dense shade.

    As a floating plant, Frogbit helps provide surface cover and shelter for aquatic life, supporting a more balanced pond environment. Its compact size makes it a good choice for both larger ponds and smaller water features.

              Care Instructions

              Frogbit Care Instructions:

              Frogbit (Hydrocharis morsus ranae) thrives in full sun to part shade, making it suitable for a variety of pond conditions. It has a medium growth rate and naturally floats on the water surface, adding beauty without overcrowding.

              In autumn, allow the plant to die back naturally. Small winter buds will form and sink to the bottom, while the old plant decomposes. These buds remain dormant underwater through winter and will rise again in spring to produce new growth.

              Frogbit is easy to maintain and ideal for enhancing the ecological balance of your pond, providing habitat and shade for aquatic life.

              Ordering, Shipping, Tracking and Returns
              Ordering & delivery


              Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

              The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

              30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

              If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

              For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

              Returns & problems on arrival

              Because we sell live aquatic plants and molluscs, some parts of our policy work differently from standard retail.

              Live plants and molluscs are perishable and are not suitable for routine returns once they have been prepared for dispatch.

              If there is a genuine issue on arrival, please contact us within 24 hours using the form on our Contact page, with your order number, photographs, and a short explanation.

              We will always review genuine issues carefully and fairly. Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate remedy may include a replacement, refund, or partial refund where appropriate.

              Please do not send anything back unless we have agreed this with you in writing first.

              For full details, please see our Refunds & Returns Policy.
