I be interested in any recommendations you might have for putting on the edge of
a pond, especially something that would trail into the pond. I've got the usual
necklace of stones that I want to either hide or get rid of.

My pond gets constant sun from early morning to early evening. Surrounding
shrubs are too young to provide real shade.

Perennial plants are preferred but recommendations of annuals would be fine.

I'm in zone 5a (under a couple of feet of snow at the moment).

Thanks in advance.
Neil,
How about grass? I have most of my pond edged with sod, but I bet you
could do smaller pieces in between the "necklace" stones. The nice
thing about it is thet the grass grows tall and goes to seed, which
looks a lot like many of the reed type water plants, but is very
inexpensive. I'm in zone 7 Long Island NY, so we use
bluegrass\ryegrass mix here. it grows right on top of the edge of the
liner, and then into onto the pond, and the fish love it.
