At Shekinah Aquatic Solutions we pride ourselves in the quality and selection of the Aquatic Plants that we sell. We will have available this season about 25 varieties of Hardy Water Lilies from miniature to large growing, in a variety of colours and shades from White, Pink, Reds, Peach, Yellow and Changeables. This season we will also have available a very, very, deep Burgundy colour which looks almost black.
Also available are Tropical Water Lilies, day and evening bloomers in various colours, and the wonderful Lotus.
In addition we also sell a large variety of Marginal Pond Plants; Oxygenators, Submerged Pond Plants, and Floating Tropical Plants.
Hardy Marginal Plants and Hardy Lilies will be available at the end of April or early May depending on the weather.
Floating Tropical Plants would be available as soon as early May but must be protected from frost or cold temperatures.
Tropical Lilies, Lotus, and Tropical Marginal Plants will be available mid-June, again depending on the weather.
For a water garden to function well during the summer a combination of aquatic plants is a must. 50% to 60% of the pond surface should be covered with Water Lilies and/or Floating Plants. We recommend a ratio of 7:3 in favour of hardy plant material. Keep in mind however that the Tropical Pond Plants have the most showy flowers, and can bloom all Summer, unlike most of the Hardy Aquatic Plants.
