What are some plants i can plant around my pond?

I have a preformed pond and i want plants to cover the ugly liner. The soil does get splashed alot with water from the fountain and waterfall. I want some plants with colour and are hardy so i don't have to replace them every year. Right now i have calla lillies and agapanthus.


Thankyou for all replies.

You might want to look into some bog plants if the soil gets very wet. As mentioned Cattail work well and you may want to look into some of the Rush variety, Horsetail and Corkscrew are my favorites. A really good low ground cover that works it Creeping Jenny or a little taller Houtuynia (Chameleon plant), be advised these 2 do spread quickly if not ringed in.

Reply:If they wouldn't be too terribly in the way (if just in one spot), in the wettest area might even try cat tails. We've had ours for many years in a pot, have been really hardy. May just have to trim them back now and then though because they spread easily.
Reply:Try some trailing plants to go over and soften the edges of the liner. I use golden moneywort at the edge of my pond, it just slightly trails into the water and makes a pretty show. I also have Siberian and Louisiana irises near the edge of the pond. Some of the mints are very pretty and will also trail down into the water but you must be careful with these as they can be invasive. Many annuals would be pretty, I can see the sun-loving begonias, periwinkles, verbena and others.





I also have flat rocks around the edge of my pond concealing the liner so I don't have to worry about concealing it with plants.
