Aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments (saltwater or freshwater). Situate your pond where it will get at least 6 hours of sun daily. Pond plants flower better in full sun. Choose plants with a variety of textures and forms.
There are 5 basic categories of Pond Plants
∙ Deep-Water Plants: They are planted directly in the bottom of the pond.
∙ Submerged Plants: The plants are entirely submerged.
∙ Floating Plants: They need no soil as their roots obtain nutrients from the water.
∙ Marginal Plants: Their roots can be in the water but don’t have to be.
∙ Bog Plants: They thrive in much wetter conditions than do most plants.
