Water Plants

Water Plants are often referred to as Hydrophytes or Macrophytes. Aquatic Plants can be used in ponds, wine barrels and pretty much anything which holds water! Start a living Water Feature with us.

Water plants essentially act like a living air-conditioning system for Melbourne landscapes — cooling, softening and bringing life to spaces where traditional planting struggles.
