Why Frogs Matter

Frogs are a sign of a healthy, balanced pond environment with good water quality, shade and plant life.
The Key to Attracting Frogs Naturally

The best way to attract frogs is to build a heavily planted pond with plenty of natural cover and shade.
How Pond Plants Support a Frog-Friendly Ecosystem

Grow Water lilies for shade, marginal plants for protection and oxygenating plants for healthy water conditions.
Everything You Need for a Healthy Pond

A healthy pond ecosystem depends on balance. Water lilies provide shade, marginal plants create natural habitat, and oxygenating plants help keep water clear and stable. Together, they support frogs, fish and beneficial wildlife while reducing algae and improving water quality in Australian conditions.

What an awesome product.

My plants just arrived, fantastic packaging, put straight into the frog pond and settling in well. Can’t wait to watch them grow and see frogs amongst the foliage. Thankyou so much. I love them.

Such a huge variety available

Loving these aqua water plants in our new Koi pond. They come already set up in the floaters, so it's as easy as dropping them straight into the water. Such a huge variety available, even in the middle of winter. Our selection includes some edible mints and cress, so there's the added bonus of using them in drinks and salads. Our baby Koi love the plants too.
