Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to repot the plant when it arrives?
Do I need to repot the plant when it arrives?
No. Both the 1 litre and 3 litre plants come in their mesh aquatic basket and don't need repotting or basket removal before planting.
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
The recommended planting depth is between 1 and 30 cm. Start a 1 litre plant at around half that depth so it can establish, then lower it later; a 3 litre plant can go straight onto the pond shelf at its intended depth.

A hardy marginal plant that brings large buttercup-yellow flowers and handsome underwater foliage to the pond edge, giving wildlife natural cover and the pond colour through the warmer months. Supplied as one plant in its mesh basket, ready to place straight into position with no repotting needed.
Ranunculus lingua Grandiflorus is a native marginal pond plant grown for its large, bowl-shaped buttercup-yellow flowers, deep blue-green leaves and foliage that trails attractively below the water's surface. It supports wildlife ponds, giving pond life natural cover around the margins, and suits pond keepers after reliable summer colour with minimal upkeep.
Growing quickly once established, it fills out a pond margin or shelf planting within a season and adapts well across a range of light levels at the water's edge. Being native stock, it fits naturally into wildlife-focused ponds and borders.
You receive one plant supplied in its mesh aquatic basket, sized to match the option chosen: a 1 litre basket for the 1 litre plant, or a 3 litre basket for the 3 litre plant. Neither needs repotting out of the box, so you can get planting straight away.
