Marginal Pond Plants
Marginal plants add shape and definition to any size pond. Most marginals will grow in sun to partial shade with water up to a few inches over the pots. We suggest using a mix of hardy and tropical plants, as the tropicals will delight you with a continuous show of flowers until frost.
