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!

Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.

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.
