Description
- Fed up of your pond looking scummy and stagnant? Well, have we got the collection for you! Carefully curated by our aquatics specialist, you’ll receive the best native oxygenating ponds plants, sent to you at the peak of their growth and interest.
- Oxygenating plants release oxygen into the pond which they generate from photosynthesis; this is essential for pond wildlife and for keeping up bacteria levels in the water. This, in turn, helps to keep algae under control. Clean water ahoy.
- Please note: you’ll receive a set of plants all of the same variety. These hardy, deep water oxygenators are all fast-growing, easy to care for and perfect for more inaccessible parts of the pond, whichever plant you receive. See each product page for detailed care instructions.
- Plants within this collection include hornworts, pennyworts and water violets, which are great for wildlife, benefitting newts, dragonflies and spawning fishes. Another plant in the collection, the common crow foot, also holds RHS Plants for Pollinators status.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
Karen McEwan
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
