Aquatic Plants Available for Sale in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania

It is definitely spring in Central Pennsylvania when one day it is seventy degrees and sunny and the following days are bitter cold and the nights hover around freezing. This can be a tricky time to be a gardener, especially if you are an aquatic gardener--as you're awaiting growth from last year's plants and aren't sure if you lost any plants over the winter yet. You also don't want to shock new plants and lose them by adding them to your watergarden too soon. 

So what should you do?



Aquatic Plants and Spring 2017

Just keep waiting! The weather may be deceiving some days and some garden centers begin displaying plants earlier than safe for our Zone 5/6 but the truth is that the beginning of May is generally the safest time to add any hardy marginal aquatic plants to the pond in the Central, Pennsylvania (PA) area. At this point, they should be able to withstand the temperature change from night to day. In fact, the last Frost Spring Frost for the Lebanon area in Pennsylvania is scheduled for April 27 as per the Farmer's Almanac. BUT, alas, we like to be safe instead of sorry--so we push it an extra week. Be advised that tropical plants added at this time may suffer from the cold temperatures at night (i.e. they like to live in warmer climates--hence "Tropical").

Dreamscapes Aquatic Retail Center:

Dreamscapes will have aquatic plants available the beginning of May--just in time for our 17th Annual Anniversary Sale (always Mother's Day weekend)! Seasonally Dreamscapes carries a large array of different hardy marginal plants, potted lily plants and some floating plants, too. For more information of the difference in plants, their benefits and purpose, catch up on our Aquatic Plant blog that was posted in 2016!

Keep in mind the key to a beautiful pond is most definitely in the diversity of the plants but also the layout that you plant them--see some ideas below! Or click here to read our 7 Tips for Planting your Pennsylvania Koi Pond blog!

So what now?
