Floating Pond Plants

Floating pond plants provide shade and coverage for the water garden. Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce, Sensitive Plant and Frogbit are excellent for natural filtration. Roots absorb nutrients from the water, helping to control algae. Floating plants provide spawning places for fish and create a hiding places for baby fish.
 Make sure your water temperatures are above 60 degrees before adding them to your pond in the spring. These popular pond plants will not survive a winter freeze. Pond owners replace them yearly for their great ability to keep the pond water clean and help fight algae naturally.
