Title: Pond plant seeds!
Post by: flower Power on May 07, 2007, 18:26:26: Is this a stupid question or can i buy any pond plant seeds? If so where?
I have a new empty wildlife pond and need some grasses, marginals etc.
???

They had 'bull rushes', mini looking bullrushes (forgotten the name sorry), lots of different water lillies, irises, grasses etc.

I got a Nymphaea Alba hardy water lily complete with basket, food and stones for £3.49 - could have just got the plant for £1.99. They also had some 'value' packs with a few plants in.

So i cancelled!!
