| Not all pond plants fall into one category some can be used in more than one setting |

| FLOATING SURFACE PLANTS | BOG PLANTS |
| The floating plants are some of the better water clarification plants. The reason for this is these plants roots are totaly exposed to the water and their nutrition is drawn directly out of the water this reduces the amount of nutrients available for algaes. SURFACE PLANTS BY NAME Scientific......................Common azolla..........................Fairy Moss eichornia.......................water hyacinth hydrocharis.....................frog bit lemna...........................duckweed pistia..........................water letuce stratiotes aloides..............water soldier trapa natans....................water chestnut utricularia.....................bladderwort |
bog plants grow naturaly in the peaty damp soil surrounding marshes and slow moving streams. They can take temporary submersion in water but do not grow well in totaly drenched conditions. these plants do very well in a specialy built bog garden either adjoining or attached to a pond.

| MARGINAL PLANTS | DEEP WATER PLANTS |
| Marginal plants are found as their name implies along the edges or margins of bodies of water. These plants can grow in the moist soil above the water line or with their roots submerged slightly under the water. In a garden pond these plants highlight the edges of the pond and help soften the blend between the water areas and the land. MARGINAL PLANTS BY NAME Scientific..................Common acorus calamus.................sweet flag alisma plantago-aquatica....Water Plantain bidens tripartita..................trifid bur marigold butomus umbellatus...........flowering rush calla palustris...................bog arum caltha palustris............marsh marigold carex pseudocyperus.........cyperus sedge eriophorum spp..............cotton grass equisetum fluviatile........water horsetail eupatorium cannabium........hemp agrimony filipendula ulmaria.........meadowsweet gentiana pneumonanthe.......marsh gentian hippuris vulgaris...........mares tail iris pseudaccorus...........common flag iris siberica iris laevigata iris kaempferi..............bog iris lysimachia nummularia.......creeping jenny lythrum salicaria...........purple loosestrife menyanthes trifoliata.......bog bean phragmites australis........common reed pontederia cordata.......... ranunculus lingua...........greater spearwort sagittaria sagittifolia.....arrowhead sparganium erectum..........branched bur-reed typha spp...................reedmace |
The deepwater plants are the oxygenators of the pond. these plants live in the deeper water. Some have underwater leaves that never reach the suface and are in the pond to do a job. Others like the waterlily belong in the pond because of their eye appealing beauty and their leaves offer good shading to slow the growth of algae and provide shelter for fish and other aquatic life. I believe water gardening would not have become so popular if there were no water lilys. DEEPWATER PLANTS BY NAME Scientific.............................Common aponogeton.............................water hawthorn ceratophyllum demersum.................ridgid hornwort chara spp..............................algae elodea spp.............................pondweed hottonia palustris.....................water violet myriophyllum spp.......................water milfoil nuphar.................................pond lily nymphoides.............................water fringe orontium...............................golden club utricularia vulgaris...................common bladderwort potamogeton densus..................opposite-leaved pondweed |
