The variety of species included in the plug plant mix depends on the time of year and stock availability.

Plants: Our Wetland/Pond Edge Area plug plants are ready to plant by the edge a pond in the garden, temporary flooded areas or in a wetland. These plants are grown in growing media suitable for the conditions they will be planted in. All our plants are UK native plants and are grown from wild seed. 

Habitat: These plants need to be planted in wet ground, ideally near water. Some of these plants can grow in very shallow water but usually this needs to partially dry in the summer - NOTE These are not aquatic or floating plants so cannot be in water all year round. They can cope with winter flooding. Ideally prefer on the edge of a pond with their roots wet but stems above water. They prefer neutral soils. Do not plant where these plants could be grazed or mown between March and September.

Management: We recommend you allow these plants to flower through the summer. Let them set seed and drop seed. If you want they can be cut back in late Autumn but leave at least 75mm of the stem - ensure this section is not covered by water until the winter. These plants usually winter as Rhizomes so there is not much showing in the winter. They will come again in late Spring the following year. Always be aware you will have to manage weeds in the first 2-3 years after planting.

PLEASE NOTE - We offer free planting & management advice with every order.

Kindly be aware that as autumn approaches, our wildflower plants might be delivered in a state where they appear to have passed their peak. We strive to inform you about this at the time of your order. It is common for native plants to exhibit leaf blotches or have dead/brown leaves during specific times of the year; this is entirely natural. We assure you that we meticulously inspect the root condition, ensuring their robust health. Once planted, the plug plant will respond accordingly.

Please understand that owing to the perishable nature of our plug plants, the usual right to cancel does not apply.
