• Perennial
• Suitable for small and large ponds.

Ludwigia develops into a thick mat which is great for shallow water near the edge of ponds to spill over lips or rockery. Can also be shallow submerged and is easy to grow.  The stems are red that deepens in colour depending on the amount of sunlight it receives. Ludwigia produces a small yellow flower that tends to blend in with the foliage. 

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
