Default Suggestions for pond edge

J Kolenovsky wrote:
Check with your local chapter of the Native Plant Society and see what
marginal bog plants grow well in your area and get the names of local
retailers from them and go purchase them. A little of several of them
can multiply and go a long way. Also, after you id some of the local
marginal plants, find some ditches that have plant material growth and
wear rubber boots, take a sharp-shooter, gloves and a bucket and you
can collect some specimens for your pond. The large cattail (Typha)
is not recommended nor any of the federal aquatic noxious plants like
giant salvinia or water hyacinth.


Wild collecting (stealing) is not recommended either.
