Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 9cm pot pack come with a planting basket?
Does the 9cm pot pack come with a planting basket?
No. The 9cm pot pack of 3 supplies three plants, each in a 9cm pot. A mesh aquatic basket is not included, and the plants will need potting into one before being placed in the pond.
Do the 1 litre and 3 litre plants need repotting before I plant them?
Do the 1 litre and 3 litre plants need repotting before I plant them?
No. Both are already growing in their own mesh aquatic basket and can be placed straight into the pond without repotting.
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
It depends on the size you buy: place 9cm pot plants no deeper than a third of your pond's maximum recommended planting depth, 1 litre plants no deeper than half, and set 3 litre plants on the pond shelf at your chosen depth, all to let the plants establish.
Can I cut it back if it spreads too much?
Can I cut it back if it spreads too much?
Yes. It can be trimmed as required at any time during the growing season.
A spreading marginal pond plant that fills bare ground at the water's edge and trails over raised sides, helping establish quick ground cover through the growing season. It suits pond margins, boggy edges and raised pond walls, and is supplied as a basket-grown plant in 1 litre or 3 litre sizes, or as a pack of three 9cm potted plants.
Lysimachia nummularia is a low, spreading marginal plant that covers bare ground at the pond edge and trails over raised sides; it is noted as more vigorous than the golden-leaved form of the same plant. It suits pond margins, boggy ground close to the water, and raised pond walls where trailing growth is wanted. The plant helps fill gaps in margin planting and softens hard raised edges by draping over them, and it will also float out across the water's surface.
You receive the plant already growing. The 1 litre and 3 litre options arrive established in their own mesh aquatic basket, ready to go straight into the pond, while the 9cm pot pack supplies three individual plants in 9cm pots that you will need to pot into a basket yourself before planting out.
It flowers through summer, adding colour at the margin, and is a native species suited to pond planting schemes built around UK native plants. It can also be trimmed back at any time during the growing season, making it easy to keep tidy if it spreads more than you'd like.
