Water Features FAQs

Why choose a water feature?

It’s no wonder that in many cultures where the people live in hot countries, there is a pool or fountain either in the garden or even in the centre of the house (just as Roman houses had in-built pools of water in the atrium or entrance hall).

However, water features are not only for use in hot countries; the addition of a water feature or fountain to any garden will help to create a lush, restful atmosphere as well as being an irresistible attraction to local birds and wildlife.

Simply put, water features are beautiful and can only enhance the surrounding area by making an enchanting focal point in your garden.

Do you need a water supply for a water feature?

It’s a myth that you need a water supply to have a water feature. There are many self-contained water features available that won’t require a water supply or access to electricity to run. Browse our water feature installation guide to understand more about how to install water features of all kinds.

You also don’t need a large garden. Many water features are small enough to fit neatly in a smaller garden or even on a balcony without taking up too much space and if room is an issue, compact tabletop water features are ideal. A water feature of any size can help to purify the air, create balance in feng shui and become a prized possession to show off to all your friends.

Benefits of solar-powered water features

If you’re looking for an eco-friendly option, solar-powered water features are perfect. They’re energy efficient as they don’t require any additional power source other than sunlight to run.

Solar-powered water features are easy to power – the solar panels required to make the water feature run can either be installed on the feature itself or in another spot that allows them to capture the most sunlight.

Try to choose the sunniest spot in your garden to make sure that your water feature runs smoothly and for as long as possible.

What plants can I grow in a planter water feature?

All plants need water to survive, but that doesn’t mean that all plants will thrive in a water feature environment. Water features can be very humid when exposed to sunlight and any soil is likely to be continually damp. This means that any plants you’re considering for your herb planter water feature should be able to thrive or at least withstand humid conditions.

Consider also the height of the plants – plants that grow tall could eventually detract from the appearance of your water feature by covering it entirely. Similarly, slow-growing plants can easily be missed in the landscape of larger water features.

Bear in mind that any plants you grow in your herb planter water feature will need proper maintenance to ensure that they don’t completely dominate the appearance of the feature!

Where is the best place to put a planter water feature?

The practical approach dictates that you should place a planter water feature in a spot that gets both shade and sun throughout the day to support the healthy growth of the plants.

There’s also the Feng Shui approach which suggests that water features should be placed in the north, east, or southeast corners of your garden. Try to ensure that water flows toward the house to allow Chi to enter the home if this is a belief you want to follow.

What’s the best water feature?

While the best water feature is subjective to your own needs and your garden style, we can still guide you towards your favourite. Check out this guide to the best water features in the UK, all to be found at Primrose.
