It is particularly well suited to a new pond where you want greater impact from the outset, or to an established pond that would benefit from additional structure, cover and habitat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarginal plants occupy the important transition between water and the surrounding garden. Their flowers can provide nectar and pollen for visiting insects, while their stems and foliage create shelter, resting places and routes between water and land for amphibians, dragonflies and other pond life. They also add height, texture and seasonal interest around the pond edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach kit contains four UK-grown marginal plants established in 3 litre Finofil aquatic baskets. The larger basket size gives the plants more established root systems and greater growing volume than smaller formats, helping them create a stronger presence around the pond from the outset.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause the plants are already established in aquatic baskets, they do not normally need repotting before being added to the pond. Once unpacked and rehydrated, each basket can be positioned at the planting depth shown on its individual plant label. This makes the 3 litre kit a convenient choice where you want larger, more established marginal plants without the additional work of potting them on first.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a Grower’s Choice collection. Rather than using a fixed species list, our growers select plants at the time of dispatch according to their health, seasonal performance and wildlife value. This allows them to choose strong plants that are well suited to current growing conditions. The varieties supplied will therefore vary, and product images show examples of the type of selection you may receive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a pond of up to approximately 3m², four established 3 litre plants can create substantial areas of marginal planting and provide greater immediate impact than smaller plants. For a natural appearance, they can be arranged in informal groups or positioned at different points around the pond according to their individual height, form and preferred planting depth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis kit contains marginal plants only and is not intended to provide every type of planting required for a balanced pond.
