What Types Of Water Loving Plants Do I Use In My Garden Design |

A garden pond or a natural pond will add dimension and calm wherever it is built. Water will catch the light and sparkle as it reflects the green leaves of water loving plants and bright colors of its flowers. This makes a garden pond a truly dynamic element as the reflection and refraction of light makes colors shift in the spectrum, adding dimension to the entire garden design.
In a natural pond water loving plants are essential to the authentic look of the element. We find plants in ponds all over the world, even in desert areas. Your pond will look true to form if you add wild plants to it, and you will also have the opportunity to do some very unique aquatic garden design.
Both natural ponds and garden ponds need four different types of water loving plants: oxygenators, marginal plant life, plants called floaters, and deep water plants.
Oxygenators are the most important plants in any pond, not matter how large or small. Even if you do not have fish in your pond, you should still have us plant something like Anacharis, Cabomba, Parrot’s Feather, or milfoil to keep down carbon dioxide levels. This prevents algae from getting out of control and releasing toxins into the water that can be harmful to pets and wildlife.
