Shalom - a lot of land plants will grow in the pond if the crown of the plant above the water level, some higher than others - impatiens, hosta, several ground covers, among many others will grow well

Yes, I love to experiment with terrestrials in the pond. Some work, some don't but it's all fun and I've had more successes than failures over the years.

Way back when, I tucked a cutting from my TZ into some gravel in the pond as it's such a breeze to root. It took off. In the yrs since, I've sprigged my skippy with the purple heart variety & sweet potato vine. The color combo is glorious and it renders the skippy invisible in short order.

From my girlfriends pond I have an overflow into a small bog garden, which was situated under a magnificent magnolia which just this weekend I have had to remove due to poor health (40yrs young). However back to my point, this bog garden is home to some of the best crocosmia I have seen in a long time. They were not planted as such more shoved into the old compost which was saturated from the pond. They are thriving and will need dividing next year whilst the others planted more "traditionally" will be at least 3 year from division. They are also a favourite haunt of the frogs and toads. Try it, if they can cope in yorkshire they should cope most places lol

We've a vineing houseplant with an pale green arrow shaped leaf that seems to thrive in the pond.

[How does one spell vine with an -ing? My spell checker don't like it. VBG.]

I have had coleus all summer in the edge of my afternoon shaded pond and it has grown roots and is ready to be potted up for the winter and will be ready to go back into the pond in the spring. min
