Floating Water Pond Plants
These plants float on the top of the water and do not need to be planted. They are by far the easiest of all pond - aquatic plants to grow. Zone hardiness differs from plant to plant so be sure to click the plant profile to see where they are hardy.

Bonnie, The plants arrived and I have to say the Fairy Moss you sent is the best looking in the past 5 years, that I have ordered. Most of it typically is rotten or to the point of no return, but for the most part this bag is green and looks very healthy.. I like the "xxxxxxxx" idea and wonder if more growers shipped with them if it would live as well. You know I am very pleased with the order and will get in touch again when you have more plants out of dormancy...
Duckweed is lighter green, grass green in color These tiny green leaves float on top of the water. It is an excellent natural food for pond fish. Duckweed Frog bit is a miniature floating plant with shiny green foliage that is 1 to 2 inches across. It is said to kind of look like the chin of a frog in the water, thus the name Frog Bit
