AMAZING VARIETY - The Hippuris vulgaris, often known as the common mare’s tail, is a deciduous hardy perennial that roots underwater, but most of its leaves are above the water surface. The leaves occur in whorls of 6-12; those above water are 0.5 to 2.5 cm long and up to 3 mm wide, whereas those under water are thinner and limper, and longer than those above water, especially in deeper streams. The stems are solid and unbranched but often curved, and can be up to 60 cm long. In shallow water they project 20–30 cm out of the water. It grows from stout rhizomes. POND PLANTS - Marginal pond plants grow in rivers, streams and ponds in the wild. They are very versatile growing in damp soil to shallow water. They are usually planted on the shelves of ornamental ponds and offer height, colour and structure to the pond.

Pond Plant Care Guide Pond plants enhance beauty and maintain balance in aquatic ecosystems. They can be: Floating: Like water lilies, helping control algae. Emergent: Such as reeds, providing habitat for wildlife. Submerged: Like elodea, oxygenating the water. Marginal: Plants at the pond’s edge, like irises. Care Tips Sunlight: Ensure 4-6 hours of daily light. Water quality: Keep pH between 6.5-7.5. Substrate: Use pond-specific soil or gravel. Oxygenation: Add aerators or oxygenating plants. Algae control: Introduce floating plants or algae-eating fish. Maintenance: Trim dead leaves and remove invasive species.
