Tip of the Week
Marginal plants are aquatic plants that grow around the edges of the pond. They create a natural connection between the water and the land. They can be categorized as:
Plants other than lilies that tolerate having their roots submerged in shallow water, including Iris laevigata, cattail, rushes, and arrowhead;
plants that like to be wet but not completely submerged such asbog plants, including marsh marigolds; and plants that like to have wet but not waterlogged roots such as astilbe and primula.
