Pond & Water Edge Wildflower Plug Plants Mix

The Pond & Water Edge Wildflower Plug Plants Mix is a carefully curated selection of UK native wildflower plug plants, specially chosen to thrive in moist to wet soils along pond margins, lakesides, drainage channels, swales, and marshy banks. Perfect for creating wildlife-rich, naturalised habitats, this mix enhances biodiversity, supports pollinators, and contributes to ecological stability in aquatic environments.

Supplied as pre-grown 40cc plug plants, this mix establishes quickly, providing immediate colour and habitat while helping to stabilise soil, reduce erosion, and improve overall ecosystem health. The mix blooms sequentially from late spring to early autumn, attracting bees, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians, birds, and other beneficial wildlife.

Ideal for landscapers, council planting officers, ecologists, and professional gardeners, these plug plants offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for wetland restoration, rewilding, and green infrastructure projects. Plants can be installed individually for targeted planting or grouped for naturalistic pond margins, wildlife corridors, and ecological buffers.

A minimum of 10 UK native species is included, selected for their suitability to wet soils and pond-edge conditions. Species selection may vary slightly depending on seasonal availability to ensure plants are healthy and ready for planting.
