Bog Plants

A bog garden makes a wonderful addition to any outdoor space - they’re ideal for areas with waterlogged, poorly draining or wet soil and their natural aesthetic is ideal for attracting wildlife. If you have a pond, moisture-loving bog plants will flourish in the damp soil around the edges. You can even create a mini bog garden in a container! Bog gardens are a low maintenance and relaxed way to plant, with native British plants, woodland plants and even exotic varieties to lend your space a jungle vibe. Explore our exciting new collection - it’s anything but bog standard!

Meet Caroline

A deep dive into sustainable gardening

Nestled amongst wildlife meadows and resident ducks, Caroline’s award winning pond plant nursery in Enfield has been making a splash since 1965, when they invented the (recycled, obvs) aquatic basket. Sixty years and multiple RHS gold medals later, they’re still surprising us with new varieties every year!

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
