Product Information
Nasturtian Aquaticum is a kind of water cress, a British wild native submerged plant that works as an excellent natural filter, removing excess nitrates from the water (known as Phyto-filtration). These pond plants have beautiful white flowers that hold up above the water and are suitable for natural ponds, streams and lakes in partial shade or full sun at a water depth of 0-30 cm above the soil/crown. Beware, they may be invasive.
Aquatic Soil
Aquatic soil is heavy in weight an will therefore increase the cost of postage and packing. Heavy sand or clay based top soil from your back garden will make a fine planting substrate, molehill soil is even better. NEVER use peat based soil or your plants will float up out of your newly planted baskets/planting bags.
Aquatic Top Gravel
Aquatic gravel is heavy in weight and will therefore increase the cost of postage and packing. Top gravel is used as a decorative finish or as an added protection and deterrent to inquisitive/plant destructive koi-carp and other large fish. We only sell 4-6mm grade aquatic gravel as any grade larger will inhibit plant growth. NEVER place large pebbles or stones on top of your Aquatic Planting Baskets
