what does the plants do for the pond and whats best value plants to buy

Plants filter, remove nitrate. Best value for the buck would be watercress
at your local grocers. Next would be conditioning canna bulbs for the pond.
Water iris, usually cheap, and great filter plant. Creeping primrose, water
hyacinth, water lettuce, to name a few.... ~ jan
