Robyn's Aquatic Plant Page

Last Updated: 7/6/98

In case you arrived here before my pond page, you can find some plant care there.

This is a list of all of the aquatic plants sold by six companies. The Lilypons, Aquamart, MD Aquatic Nurseries, and Lilyblooms prices are from Spring of 1997 while the Paradise Water Gardens and That Pet Place prices are from Spring of 1998. That Pet Place has a minimum $60 order for non-potted plants and minimum 10 plants for potted plants. Paradise Water Gardens has a $15 minimum plant order. Some other places may attach an additional charge for smaller orders.
The information is correct to the best of my knowledge and based solely on the information in these six catalogs and some personal knowledge. Please E-mail any mistakes, and I will correct them as soon as possible. Buying larger amounts often resulted in a lower price or free additional plants (especially through Paradise Water Gardens).

Some of the plants in the hardy list may be tropicals as some of the catalogs do not provide this information and only give a common or even just a Latin name (as in TPP where half the Latin names are spelled wrong too). I suggest that if you have a name to find, use the word search to find it in this list. For example, salvinia is under water velvet since it goes by both names.

Hardy Plant List
Tropical Plant List (Zones 8+, may survive Zone 7).

Lilypons = the Lilypons in Buckeystown MD, 1-800-999-5459.
Aquamart = Aqua-Mart in Florida, 1-800-245-5814.
MD Aq. Nurs. = MD Aquatic Nurseries, 410- 557-7615.
Lilyblooms = Lilyblooms of Ohio, 1-800-921-0005.
Paradise Water Gardens = 1-800-955-0161.
That Pet Place = That Pet Place in Pennsylvania, 1-888-THATPET.


Hardy Plants in Zone 7 or higher

Note: Empty dashes indicate information not found or place does not sell that plant. Also, varieties of lily and lotus are not included in the list. There are just too many (thousands) varieties, colors, and prices of lily and lotus to list. I have added the water iris (in these catalogs), of which there are 1100 varieties! A few dozen varieties are listed here. Most are Louisiana iris. Some Japanese and Siberian iris can also survive in ponds but prefer to be damp and not submerged.
Look up multiword plants by the main word (for example, pickerel rush is under rush, pickerel).
