Yes, it's a native UK species.
Suited to pond keepers who want to support local wildlife at the pond edge, this native marginal plant offers pollinators a long flowering season from May to September and brings clusters of small blue flowers to the margins of your pond. It settles into most pond positions, from brighter spots to shadier ones, and establishes quickly once planted.
Myosotis scorpioides is a native UK marginal pond plant that produces clusters of small blue flowers continuously from May through to September, giving pollinators a season-long source of nectar.
It's suited to pond keepers who want to add colour to pond margins while supporting local wildlife, being a native species that copes with both bright and shadier spots, which gives flexibility in where you plant it. It establishes in the pond quickly once planted.
What you get depends on the size you pick: a single plant already potted in a 1 litre mesh basket, a single plant potted in a 3 litre mesh basket, or three individual plants together in 9cm pots as a pack of three. The 9cm pot plants will need a mesh basket for planting, which isn't included.
Trim it whenever needed through the growing season, but leave it uncut in autumn, as the growing tips you'd remove are next year's new growth.
