Wetland Tolerant Plants
The selection of plants for your pond includes a large variety of marginal plants that do well in wet, soggy soils as well as in shallow water. Also included are the surface, floating and oxygenators. Protect the tropical plants from freezing by bringing them indoors for the winter. This list is not necessarily what we carry but to be used for reference in building a well balanced water pond garden or stream bed.
