Plant Collection: Marginals

Plant Collection: MarginalsAquatic Native Plants: Marginals This collection of at least 5 species of either 42 or 77 marginal British wildflowers should be planted at 5 plants per square metre along pond edge or river bank. They're wonderful for wildlife as well as looking attractive. We supply them as generous 110cc "superplugs" or bare root, depending on availability. All the plants here are grown in the UK from British stock, as Gordon (or is it Jamie?) explains in this

We offer meadowsweet as 110cc jumbo plugs

Lythrum salicaria (Purple Loosestrife)

Myosotis scorpioides is an excellent plant for wildlife

but to my mind a more attractive plant

0 Sweet Vernal-Grass Anthoxanthum odoratum

11cm x 11cm X 11cm (1 litre): one plant

If you have a preformed pond

In addition to these plants we also include bunches of a native oxygenator with each collection

in small boxes of 10 or trays of 77 generous 110cc plugs

Water avens (Geum rivale) or Marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre)

The coir fibre degrades slowly

you need to be careful about initial care and establishing an annual regime
