Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plant work in moving water, like a stream?
Does this plant work in moving water, like a stream?
Yes, it grows in both fast-flowing and still water. In faster currents, anchor it well, since the leaves often stay below the surface rather than rising up to flower.

Will it flower in my pond?
Will it flower in my pond?
Flowering is more likely where the leaves reach above the water surface, which tends to happen in still or slower-moving water, with flowers appearing through the summer months.
What happens if I order outside the main growing season?
What happens if I order outside the main growing season?
Plants may still be available out of season, but they could arrive cut back rather than at full growth.
You receive five bunches of this native UK pond plant, ready to weight and drop into the water or plant in soil for a firmer hold. It helps oxygenate the pond and settles into both still and flowing water, which suits a range of pond and stream setups. Expect flowers through summer once it's established, with foliage that sits both above and below the surface.
Ranunculus aquatilis is a UK native oxygenating pond plant whose leaves grow in three distinct forms, two shaped for life above the waterline and one that stays submerged. That mix of growth habits lets it adapt to the conditions in your pond or stream, rather than needing one fixed water depth or flow rate.
It suits ponds and water features with either calm or fast-moving water, from garden ponds to more naturalistic stream setups. The plant helps oxygenate the water as it grows, and its native status makes it a reasonable pick for wildlife-focused planting.
You get a pack of five bunches. They can be weighted and dropped straight into the water, though they tend to do better when planted in soil rather than left loose. If you go down the planting route, you'll need your own soil or substrate, as none is supplied with the pack.
In fast-flowing water, anchor the bunches well, since the current often keeps the leaves below the surface. In still or slower water, the leaves tend to rise above the surface, and that's generally when the plant flowers through the summer months.
