I don’t know about yours, but my pond plants have been exceptionally beautiful this season! LOTS of lily blooms 🌸 and the lotus have come out strong! All the Aquatic Marginals have really flushed out, and there is so much lush foliage!
My Pond Tip today – Keep your Aquatic Plants fed and trimmed.
Try doing these 2 things and you can thank me later 😊
#1 keep your lilies & lotus fed (fertilized) to keep them performing into late summer and fall. It’s very simple to do! Come by and grab a container of Aquatic Plant Fertilizer Tabs. One of us will show you how to poke em’ down into the root zone of the plant… and your done… It’s that simple 😊
AND #2 is to keep your aquatic plant growth in check! All this Warm weather has them growing like weeds 😊
Believe me, a little plant trim and touch up now will pay dividends for the rest of the season! Get out there and enjoy 😉
Have a great Pond Tip Tuesday! 💥

Aquatic Plants are so underutilized in my opinion. People with Water Gardens are in the know much more than your average gardener of course… But I want everyone to know how awesome they really are! Use them in Water Gardens, in Bogs, in Rain Gardens, in Containers, around the edges of field Ponds, even in your Flower Beds!
Here are a few images of beautiful Aquatic Plants. We carry most of not all of these at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio. 👇🏻
