Aquascapes Unlimited, a grower and supplier of
ornamental aquatic plants and fish also provides a wholesale
source for local ecotype native wetland plants for restoration
projects.
Our company has been specializing in lake, pond and
wetland management for estate, institutional, governmental
and commercial establishments for over 20 years with
hundreds of satisfied clients.
Aquascapes Unlimited offers consultation services
explaining what, where, how, and when to plant aquatic
material.
The majority of our plants are seed sown winter hardy
perennials grown in containers to provide easy shipping and
storage for garden centers and landscapers alike.
The price list reflects plants in appropriately sized
containers unless otherwise specified. Large plant specimens
are available in any species listed.
Environmentally speaking, native plants are the most
appropriate for use in water gardens and natural systems
because the plants and other life forms they support have
evolved together in the same place at the same time.
The plants listed below offer some ornamental attributes
that appeal to water gardeners. Many are standard “bread and
butter” items that have been marketed for decades.
Others may be relatively obscure or rare in their natural
environment, limited in their range, or species we believe are
worthy of ornamental display.
We firmly believe there is (or will be) a native substitute for
every non-native plant currently offered. Get involved with your
local watershed organization & conservation district and show
them you are environmentally aware and expand your market
in an environmentally responsible manner.
Sincerely,
Randolph Heffner

TROPICAL ORNAMENTAL AQUATICS
Tropical ornamental aquatics offer a wide range of shapes,
color, and sizes that can increase the wow-factor in a short time.
They grow rapidly in water temperatures above 70 degrees and
add seasonal interest to a perennial display. The species we
offer do not over winter outdoors in zone 6 although many can
be maintained successfully indoors as houseplants.

FLOATING TROPICALS
Floating tropicals in the water garden provide shade, filtration,
nutrient removal and are considered essential by many for a
balanced biological system. The species we offer do not over winter
in zone 6 although interstate shipping may be prohibited. Intended
for ornamental ponds and water features only. Never plant tropical
floaters in natural systems where they can escape.

HARDY FLOATERS
Although sometimes problematic in water gardens and natural
systems, Duckweed and Azolla provide a natural alternative
to a non-native floating tropical in an ecosystem. A proper
balance of herbivores must be maintained in order to achieve
equilibrium. Many water gardeners use both as a vegetable
supplement for ornamental pool fishes such as comets and koi.

Often referred to as “oxygenators” most water gardeners

as function. Most submergents are sold as bare root or sold as

CARNIVOROUS COMPANIONS
A collection of carnivorous companions complements a colorful
container and creates a carnival of carnivores (say that 3 times
fast). The plants we offer are often found in natural community
associations in areas where carnivorous plants are found in the wild.
Although some may be considered aggressive and competitive, we
have found the group we offer to be manageable in a containerized
bog. Many are quite rare in the horticultural trade. All are native.

The yellow flowering Spatterdock is a common native lily-like
floating leaf aquatic perennial found in quiet waters throughout
the U.S. Although only recognized by botanists as a genus with a
single species (Nuphar lutea), the species contains 9 recognized
sub species, which vary considerably in morphology in both
flower & structure. This plant is most commonly utilized in wetland
restoration for deep-water sites. Nuphar seeds freely and can
spread rapidly in earth ponds up to 3’ deep.

SCAVENGERS
The most common scavengers introduced into water gardens
are snails and tadpoles. We offer hardy live bearing Japanese
trapdoor snails and bullfrog tadpoles as the primary clean
up crew. Many other opportunists will often be attracted to
permanent pools as well, and will find their way. For the most
effective control we recommend a stocking rate of 1 scavenger
per square foot. The frogs will be singing thanks and praise by
the end of the summer.
