Mail order pond plants
« on: August 02, 2004, 11:49:57 »
Can you recommend a good company for mail order pond plants? Pref with website.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding any oxygenators (in particular) in my local area other than canadian pond weed and the dreaded parrots feather (which I of course bought none of!)
gone to pot :D

I got mine from Bromfield Aquatics - http://www.bromfieldaquatics.co.uk/

They have a wide selection, and they label plants as native or non-native.

Hi Aqui.Water gardening direct is another,for everything to do with ponds.i use them all the time.

Two years ago my pond was nearly over run with parrots feather.I cut it back so hard that last year it gave up the ghost.This year i bought one pot,split the contents into 2 and it is thriving again.The same has happened with the elodea.The best one is hornwort,but again can get out of control if not careful!! :D

At the risk of being cheeky, check out the text ads at the top of each page - they try to link to page content.

So on this page, they give pond supply type companies !

Cheers

Wish I could have brought you some back from Holland!!! They're all at least a 1/3 of the price of the ones over here!!!!

Course I only brought back a dozen for myself this time as I had to leave room for all the other plants!!!
