MARGINAL - Myosotis scorpioides 'Snowflakes' 1L
White water forget-me-not. White flowers on green leaves. This plant can be trimmed as required at any time during the growing season but do not cut back in autumn as the growing tips are next years plants.
OXYGENATING - Callitriche stagnalis (in bunches)
Starwort. One of few submerged plants active in autumn and winter. Goldfish are partial to the young succulent leaves & many insects shelter in their tangled masses. It grows in still or flowing water, if fast flowing it keeps the leaves below the surface. It can be dropped in pond as a weighted bunch but grow much better if they are in contact with soil in the pond or pot.
