I have a pond in the back of my house. It gets 13 to 15 hours of light, excpt for one corner that get maybe 5 hours of light in all after that it dark in that corner. Now i'm trying to get the hole thing to be organic ( so like the fishes can eat the plant and the plant to keep the algea and ph in good poramiters). also i will be trying to invest in a heater and pump to keep it from haveing a still water pond!

There are many floating plants that are good, Stuff that goes underwater that would
be good is Anarchis, onion plant if im not mistaken, Combomba (im not sure.. i remember reading somewhere about it going in ponds) Thats all i can think of at the
momment.

You should check http://www.plantgeek.net/plantguide_all_gallery.php check the plants they will tell you if they can be kept as pond plants.

Good luck,

I had water lettuce and water hyachen, sorry not sure how to spell that, in my pond. They actually throw out shoots and make babies and so on and so on. I actually would have to throw some away I would get so much. and I got these from my Mother in law who had to much. I guess the one will actually flower but did not have mine long enough for that I guess.

Water lilies! I love water lilies in a pond, and there are all different sizes available, so you can get the size to suit your pond. They also come in a variety of leaf and flower colours biggrin.gif
