Collection: Pond Plants | Live Aquatic Plants for Garden Ponds

Add vibrant colour and natural beauty to your garden pond with live pond plants including stunning water lilies, oxygenating plants, marginal species, and floating varieties. Buying pond plants online from Aqua Essentials gives you access to healthy, quality aquatic plants that transform outdoor ponds into thriving natural habitats with gorgeous flowers, lush foliage, and essential surface coverage. During summer months when sunlight is intense, pond plants provide crucial shade that prevents algae from taking over and turning your pond green — adequate surface coverage from floating plants and lily pads is your best defense against algae blooms. Choose from spectacular flowering water lilies in various colours, oxygenating plants that keep water clear and healthy, marginal plants for pond edges, and floating species that provide instant coverage. Perfect for wildlife ponds, koi ponds, and ornamental water features, these hardy pond plants create balanced ecosystems, support beneficial insects and amphibians, and deliver year-round interest with seasonal flowers and foliage changes.
