Pond plants

[cyprinella]

If anyone US-based is looking for pond plants, my local (DC Metro area) Lowes had a really nice selection of marginal plants I had only seen at specialty shops as well as your typical lilies. Be warned that some of the things they were selling can be very invasive (water lettuce, for example) so you may want to be careful if your pond has any sort of run-off to natural waterways. I mostly container garden, so I picked up a couple of species like horsetail rush that can spread like crazy if not contained. If you're in need of a fantastic water garden plant book, I really recommend Encyclopedia of Water Garden Plants by Greg Speichert and Sue Speichert. It has been incredibly helpful in describing proper care and helping me pick out plants for my area.
