I have used Stapeley Water Gardens in the past and found them very helpful. You could also try Ebay as they have numbers of excellent suppliers.

Dobbies have a selection,though the ones near Monifeith didn't look very well an hour ago.Dobbies in Perth also have a fair selection.

I got some when my friend thinned out his pond plants.(Water hyacinth? well at least the flower looked like a hyacinth!) Mine has thrived and his have died. Now I can return the favour!

Thanks everone for your replies. I received pond plants today, I ordered them from Mimmack Aquatics. The plants are really good, I planted them in pond baskets tonight and have them in buckets of water. I had a water feature in the garden but this is being changed to a small raised pond, so hope to get the plants in soon.
