Native UK Pond Plants

Each of these pond plants are native to Britain - grown right here, adapted to our climate, and loved by local wildlife.

Each plant we've picked for this range is brilliant for building a balanced ecosystem around your pond or bog garden. From the golden blooms of Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris) to the trailing stems of Bog Pimpernel (Anagallis tenella) and the airy, tufty Common Cotton Grass (Eriophorum angustifolium), these species are not only beautiful but brilliant for pollinators.

Hardy, low-maintenance, and safe for fish and frogs alike, native pond plants are the natural choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Whether you’re starting a new pond or restoring a more natural edge, these UK-grown varieties are a great place to begin.

looking for a native oxygenating pond plant?

Mare’s Tail (Hippuris vulgaris) is one of the best. Found naturally along UK riverbanks and wetlands, this hardy perennial grows both underwater and above, helping to keep your pond clear and balanced.

Its whorled green stems rise gracefully above the surface while its submerged leaves work quietly below, oxygenating the water and supporting aquatic life.
