Plants for Pond

[mrteach3]

Hey all,

Any ideas of some good plants for my pond? It is in the shade most of the day. The sun it gets is early sun and a little late afternoon sun. Just thought I would gather some advice. Thanks.

Post some photos of your pond so we can see what fits best in your situation.
Around, in or both?

This is a picture from today. I am looking to put in plants in the pond. I do have some water lettuce and water hyacinth in there right now. But that's it.

water chestnut is nice and there is watermint as a marginal grows well, also watercress would grow well in your falls as it likes running water

I would be planting some clumping bamboo around it.

The shady area around the pond is my favorite place for planting,.....
