I would have thought bull rushes were to invasive for your pond size? If you want to have other plants? However, I wonder if you could plant one along side your pond to give the desired effect?

I think any bullrush would swamp you wee pond Great

DRC I have many plants around the outside of the pond including several grasses, creepping jenny, Elephants ears, Yellow flag iris. I want my pond to look natural, whilst also a landing pad for wildlife i.e. damsonflies, etc. I was hoping there was a dwarf bullrush or something similar that would fit the bill?

Grasses you have will have the same effect Great. What grows in the pond will increase fairly rapidly? If it were me I would be happy with the Iris in the water and the planting you already have will fill out all round it. But you have to wait for this? Rome wasnt built in a day!! as they say.

yeah I know lol

Have a look at Typha Minima , Great. You can confine it to a basket.pot to stop it's rhizomes creeping.

I just have Wagger thank you its lovely. Is a flowering rush also called a pygmaea rush?

I don't know, Great - I'm no expert but knew I had heard of a minuature bulrush somewhere. If you mean Butomus Umbellatus as a flowering rush I don't think there is a small type of this.

Apparently Typha Minima is very good for sparrows wagger as they eat the seeds. So would be wonderful in my wildlife area. Thanks again.
