Shady Pond Plants

The location of your pond influences the kinds of plants which grow and thrive there. If your pond is in a shadier spot, it can be difficult to pick the right plants for each area - deep water, pondside and pond edge varieties all need to be chosen with care for cooler conditions. That’s why we curated this collection for shady ponds. Each plant is chosen especially for its tolerance of light, medium or even full shade, and will help to create a beautiful, healthy and wildlife-friendly pond that you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come.
