Simon's advice
Tip: Combine this rock border package with the Wet Pond Edge Plants package for your pond’s shoreline. These plants grow up to 20 cm in the water, purify your pond water, and prevent algae growth. This way, you’ll have both a dry rock border and a fresh, blooming pond shoreline.

Plants for Dry Pond Edges
Plants that will cover a dry, rocky pond edge in a single season
Dry locationHardySun and shade
Tip from SimonThat bare strip around your pond stays bare because ordinary garden plants won’t take root there. I’ve put together this package specifically for that spot: rock plants that quickly cover the ground and keep weeds out, ferns for the shady corners, and ivy for the tricky spots. You plant it just once; it’s completely hardy and comes back stronger every year.
About this product
This complete plant package is designed for a rock garden or stony border measuring 4 to 7 m². The low-growing rock plants quickly cover the ground, suppress weeds, and are completely drought-resistant. The ferns add height and texture to shady areas, and the ivy spreads gradually to fill difficult corners. Together, they form a varied, low-maintenance planting that grows stronger year after year.
What makes this product special
The package contains 24 rock plants in P9 pots, 24 ferns in P9 pots, and 24 Hedera plants in P9 pots. All plants are fully hardy and perennial. The rock plants and Hedera tolerate drought well, while the ferns grow best in a moist, shady spot.
Quality and origin
All of our plants are grown using 100% organic methods, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. They are harmless to humans, plants, and animals. The rock plants are a good source of nectar for bees and butterflies during their blooming season from June to August.
Practical Information
Delivery includes:
• 24x Assorted Rock Plants (P9)
• 24x Assorted Ferns (P9)
• 24x Hedera (P9)
Frequently Asked Questions
View the questions and answers
• Are these rock garden plants suitable for full sun? Rock garden plants and ivy can tolerate a sunny to partially shaded location. Ferns prefer shade or partial shade. Full afternoon sun is not recommended for ferns.
• Are the plants toxic to pets? Hedera is toxic if ingested by both humans and pets. The succulents and ferns in this package are generally non-toxic, but keep pets away from the Hedera.
• How much water do these plants need? Rock plants are drought-tolerant and require little water. Hedera is fairly adaptable but grows best with regular watering. Ferns need the most water and thrive in a moist location.
• Do the plants come back every year? Yes, all the plants in this package are fully hardy and perennial. They come back on their own every year without you having to replace them.
• How many square meters does this package cover? This package covers 4 to 7 square meters of rock garden or stony border, depending on the planting spacing and how quickly you want to achieve full ground cover.

My little city pond
Purchased: Pond Kit Red 100-400L
I’d been dreaming of having a small pond in my city garden for a while, but it always seemed like such a hassle. I found a complete kit online and decided to take a chance, even though I was skeptical about the quality of plants sent by mail. But to my surprise, everything arrived neatly and securely packaged. In no time at all, I had set up my little pond. To my delight, I saw the first water lily bloom after just two months, and as the icing on the cake, I discovered salamanders in my pond. No idea how they got there, but it just makes it even more fun. Truly a joy!
Lina Berger
The water is finally clear
Purchased: Native Pond Kit 1,500–3,000 L
No matter what I tried, the water in my pond just wouldn't clear up. After exchanging a few emails, I decided to order this complete kit, though to be honest, I wasn't very confident it would work.
The delivery was in good condition and the plants looked healthy. Not much changed during the first few weeks, but after about a month, the water slowly began to clear up.
Now the pond is really in perfect balance. The plants are growing well, and I can even see frogs among the leaves again. I'm really glad I gave this a try.

Blue lily: beautiful!
Purchased: Blue Water Lily
Thank you very much for the generous shipment of the marsh irisIris blue”.
The new plants have been planted, and I'm curious to see if they'll bloom this year.
There’s good news about theBlue queenwater lily: It blooms in blue here too—and it’s absolutely stunning!

Removing floor debris without a vacuum cleaner
Purchased: POND CARE Maintenance Kit
After years of accumulation caused by fish, a significant amount of silt had built up in my pond.
At first, I was thinking about getting a pond vacuum, but after talking to customer service, I decided to go with the bottom debris removal kit. I was skeptical, especially since the water got cloudy during the first week. But after a month, the sludge has decreased significantly. No hassle with a vacuum, and a great result!
I’m a fan.

Water lilies greater biodiversity
Purchased: Native Water Lily Field XL
As plant lovers, we were looking for a sustainable addition to our project. The Water lilies vdvelde turned out to be just what we were looking for. Planting the lilies was also a lot of fun. We had requested different varieties, and that wasn’t a problem at all. The delivery was handled professionally, and everything looked great. Within a week, we already saw leaves emerging above the water, and now several flowers are blooming.
Both we and our client are extremely pleased with the result.

Oxygen-producing plants save my fish
Purchased: Oxygenating Plants Package 1,500–3,000 L
My fish were gasping for air, so I looked for an air pump. Then I read that oxygenating plants could solve this problem too. I ordered the package that fits my pond, and now my fish are swimming around carefree again. An added bonus: my pond water is much clearer. Happy fish, happy me!

I'm really happy with my little pond
Purchased: Pond Kit Red 25-90L
This handy kit helped me set up my mini pond in no time. It comes with everything you need!
The service and advice were excellent—much better than at the garden center, where nobody really knows anything.

From maintenance to an organic swimming pond
Purchased: Plant Filter Package 8–12 m²
I was tired of constantly cleaning the pump, so I decided to convert my pond into a natural swimming pond. With the plant filter kit from vdvelde.com, it turned out perfectly! Now I enjoy a beautiful, natural filter and lovely swimming water.

Plants are growing much better now, and the water is crystal clear
Purchased: STEP ONE Pond substrate
Last year, I had a landscaper install a plant filter in my swimming pond, and he recommended lava rock and some plants from the local garden center. Unfortunately, it all went wrong; the plants died one by one, and I ended up with an algae infestation.
After contacting vdvelde, I was advised to replace the lava rock with Pond substrate to order some additional plants. Now, a few months later, the plants are growing well, and my filter is finally free of algae.
