Aquatic Plants

Close up photo of a bloom from Lotus 'Mrs. Perry D. Slocum'.
Aquatic plants can be grown under a wide variety of methods. They may be grown in earthen bottom ponds, rubber or plastic lined ponds and bogs, or even tubs and barrels on the back patio or deck.

From the strong perfume of a lotus blossom to the subtle swaying of cattails, aquatic plants truely lend something special to any spot, no matter where you grow them.

Give them plenty of water, sun, and good care and watch them thrive!


In addition to the water lily varieties listed below, we occasionally have limited quantities of varieties such as 'James Brydon' (pictured above) and 'Pink Sensation', not shown.
