These are marginal pond plants and are best planted on pond shelves or around the pond edge.

Position each plant at its recommended planting depth.

Plant taller varieties towards the back and lower-growing plants towards the front.

Leave enough space for plants to mature naturally.

Water well if planting into boggy soil.

Floating Water Lettuce should simply be placed on the water surface.

The oxygenating bunch can be weighted and placed beneath the water surface or planted where appropriate.

Remove any damaged foliage after planting and allow plants time to establish.
