Pond Plants

Hello Everyone,

I have just finished building a pond and a stream with waterfalls. I have a lot of liner showing the one side as it was built on a hill, I have had the idea to put down some coconut fiber and have a plant trail up it. My question is, what plants can i stick in the pond that are climbers? I've tried doing a search and the only thing i came up was nightshade, which didnt seem to be a climber :( Slightly confused. The shelf where the plant would have to sit has around 4" max of water.

Thankyou for your help.

 

Hi
Why cant you have plants that trail down , lots of choice as in rockery plants , Aubrita comes to mind , wont the coconut fiber quickly rot ???

Spruce

Ps I just though have a look for creeping Jenny that may solve your problem

 

I'd say the same as Spruce, go for planting trailing plants that will fall down into the water.
Apart from parrots feather that completely takes over, I cant think of anything that would look good in 4 ins of water and grow upwards.

 

I would suggest something else that is not porous. Anything that is, such as the you suggest will act as a wick and draw water away, not something you really want with a pond.
Its hard to suggest anything without seeing it. How about posting a pic or two.

Go to some where like photo bucket, join, upload pics to that, then put the links they provide in a new post here, then we can see the pics.
