Mini Pond Plant Kit with a Deep Water Plant for Ponds up to 0.5m² | Grower’s Choice

Description

This Grower’s Choice pond starter plant pack with a deep water plant is designed to help you create a balanced, wildlife-friendly pond in a compact space. Whether you’re starting a small garden pond, a wildlife pond, or a container pond in a bowl, tub or trough, this collection brings together plants chosen specifically for smaller settings.


Each collection contains six plants including one deep water plant, most commonly Water Hawthorn (Aponogeton distachyos), depending on availability. Alongside the deep water plant, the collection will include a complementary mix of five marginal plants selected to create balance, structure and seasonal interest in a small pond.


Each plant kit is handpicked by our expert growers from our wider aquatic plant range. Rather than working to a fixed plant list, selections are made at the time of dispatch based on plant condition, seasonal performance and suitability for smaller ponds and containers.  By selecting plants in this way, we’re able to offer a balanced, ready-to-plant mix that is more cost effective than selecting plants individually, while ensuring you receive healthy, UK-grown plants suited to current conditions.

All plants are chosen for their compact growth habit, making them well suited to limited spaces such as patios, courtyards and even balconies. Despite their smaller scale, these ponds still offer valuable habitat for insects, amphibians and birds, helping to support biodiversity.
This collection is also an excellent way to experience the pleasures of pond-keeping without committing to a large installation. Container ponds are quick to set up, require no excavation, and offer a low-maintenance introduction to water gardening — while still delivering beauty, satisfaction and wildlife value.

Product Details
  • Supplied as a mixed selection of aquatic plants, all chosen for compact growth 
  • Includes one deep water plant, typically Water Hawthorn or another premium deep water species 
  • Will also include five marginal plants to create balance

Important notes:

  • Images shown are for illustration purposes only 
  • If you order more than one of this collection, the same plant selection will be supplied in each pack

All plants are supplied in 1 litre Finofil aquatic baskets, ready to place directly into the pond.

Growing Instructions

Please follow the instructions on the individual plant labels supplied. The guidance below provides general advice for small ponds and container water gardens.

Placement and depth

  • Suitable for planting zones 1–4, from pondside to deeper water
  • Place the deep water plant in the centre or deepest part of the pond
  • Marginal plants can be positioned around the edges to soften the outline

Container ponds often perform best in full sun, which encourages flowering and healthy growth.

Soil and feeding

  • Plants are supplied in aquatic baskets and can be placed directly into the pond
  • Additional soil is not required unless repotting in future
  • Feeding is generally minimal; slow-release aquatic fertiliser tablets may be used during the growing season if required
Care Instructions
  • Allow plants time to establish before judging growth or flowering
  • Remove spent flowers and excess foliage as needed
  • Top up water levels during hot weather, especially in containers

All plants in this collection are hardy, easy-care perennials with good resistance to pests and diseases.

Growers Tips
  • Container ponds warm up quickly, encouraging early growth and wildlife activity
  • Avoid overcrowding; a small number of well-chosen plants performs better than too many
  • Position container ponds where they can be enjoyed up close — near seating or doors
Wildlife Tips

Even a small pond can make a big difference. Container and small ponds provide drinking and bathing water for birds, breeding and resting areas for insects, and shelter for amphibians.

By planting a balanced mix that includes a deep water plant, you create vertical structure within the pond, offering shade, cover and seasonal interest that benefits wildlife throughout the year.

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.

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.
