Buddlia perhaps? Open to suggestions.

Hi Kathateria, Personally, I would be inclined to plant something that is evergreen, otherwise you risk the autumn leaves falling in the pond which can cause problems as they break down in the water using valuable oxygen in doing so. Also, something evergreen will surely look more pleasing over a longer period ? As to what you use, I think thats a matter of personal preference ? but avoid anything that drops lots of leaves or petals ie, Camellia
