The water soldiers produce a small white flower from June through to August which attract pollinating insects like ladybirds and lacewings.

During the summer they will float to the surface of the water, and during the winter they will sink to the bottom of the pond rising again the following spring.

What a company! Marvellous service! You are the quickest and the best company I have dealt with since lockdown. Also your plants are of really good quality!

Thank you so much. I was so happy with the speed and quality of my first order that I immediately ordered through you again. Thank you for your great service, particularly in these times.

Thanks for the quick response, cannot fault your company, fantastic pond plants, brilliant customer service. Will definitely not be going anywhere else for our pond plants.

Arrived quickly, was packaged beautifully and all the plants were just great ♥ Like lots of people I got the bright idea to build a “Loch Down” during these weird times without having a clue what I was doing and the instructions that came with the plants were so clear and helpful. My wildlife pond is doing great (a few mini beasts are starting to arrive!) and even though it’s very small I definitely hope to order more from you in the future.

Your service, the quality of your plants and your advice for a pond novice were all perfect. I wish I could post a photo of my galvanised bath tub which is flourishing! Your customer service is excellent too – thanks Shelley.

First time using this company. Lovely, friendly person on phone. Plants arrived beautifully packed and now growing well in my wildlife pond. Fabulous service from start to finish.

Mixed results, the larger plants I received seem to be doing well. However some have failed. Very disappointing given the quality of plants I’d received a few years ago.

Thank you for your review Alan,Sorry to hear you were not happy with your order, unfortunately having a cold spring everything is running behind and when you purchased in April they would be small but we did send treble the amount you ordered, also we have no record of you ordering plant’s from us before.
