The Zebra Rush gives you textual interest to your pond with its needle-like foliage with horizontal white banding. The more sunlight the plant is in the more dramatic the banding – the less sunlight the plant gets the duller the banding.  Great for the edge of the pond or bog gardens. The Zebra Rush has small brown flowers that appear as spikelets at the stem tips in summer.

Pond Plants are always a great addition to any pond. They compete with the algae for nutrients which helps to keep the pond clean. Having multiple plants can be an effective way of filtering the water but you generally need to have half the water surface covered to have a noticeable change. This also depends on certain factors such as type of fish and location of the pond. As well as filtering the water, pond plants help to oxygenate the water during the day.  

Our Pond Plants can come in two main pot sizes, 140mm ($12.95) or 200mm ($20.00) pot. The 140mm pots are generally always in stock but the larger 200mm pots are not always available. Seasonal plants are not generally available during dormancy. Please check for availability.
