Potted plants (9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre) arrive growing in our peat-free compost and give a faster display. Packs of 3 come in 7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre bare-root sizes and cost less per plant. The 2x Pot \u0026amp; Compost option is two plants supplied with pots and compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Lincolnshire Pond Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368656458061,"sku":"BP039-plug","price":2.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368656490829,"sku":"BP039-9cm","price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Potted","offer_id":54324699201869,"sku":"BP039-9cmpot","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368656523597,"sku":"BP039-1ltr","price":10.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Potted","offer_id":54324699267405,"sku":"BP039-1ltrpot","price":12.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Potted","offer_id":54324699300173,"sku":"BP039-3ltr","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368656556365,"sku":"BP039-3ltrpot","price":23.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 2x Pot \u0026 Compost","offer_id":54368656589133,"sku":"BP039-2xpot-2xcompost","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368656621901,"sku":"BP039-Plug-3x","price":7.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368656654669,"sku":"BP039-9cm-3x","price":19.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368656687437,"sku":"BP039-1Ltr-3x","price":30.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368656720205,"sku":"BP039-3Ltr-3x","price":55.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/FilipendularubraVenustaMagnifica01_977c99c4-8f67-4db2-a92f-714b1b3326b8.jpg?v=1788442107","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/lincolnshire-pond-plants-filipendula-rubra-venusta-queen-of-the-prairie-bog-plant","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
