Water Garden : Establishing Plants In A Water Garden
For ponds, consider a mix of emergent, submergent, and floating species.
Emergent plants, those that have their roots in the water but
their shoots above water, can be added to the margins of pools.
These include cattails (Typha spp.), arrow-head (Sagittaria spp.), and water
lilies (Nymphaea spp.).
Submergent species, or those that
remain under water such as elodea,
are often used as oxygenators. These are plants that remove carbon dioxide
from the water and add oxygen. These plants are essential in most ponds
to keep the water clear.
Floating species or those that are not anchored
at all in the pond include plants such as duckweed (Lemnaminor), water
lettuce (Pistia stra-tiotes), and water hyacinth(Eichhornia crassipes).
While attractive, water hyacinth and water lettuce can be serious weed
problems in the south; however, since they are
not winter hardy, there is no problem with them spreading in northern climates.
While not as effective as oxygenators, these plants help
keep the water clear by limiting the amount of sunlight that algae
receive. In tiny ponds created in barrels and similar containers, these
plants may be adequate to maintain clear water.
