Habitat - Outdoor :: Pond Plants

Ponds and other outdoor enclosures.

Post Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2014 4:00 pm   Pond Plants

I'm getting Yaddle's outdoor pond set up and was wondering about plants.

I thought I could at least find some decent plastic lily pads to give her some cover but I don't see any online.

Are there any real plants I can throw in there? I read about a grass that floats and grows on the top of the water?

I am looking for something pretty "clean". The pond set up is a stock tank and I am basically treating it like an aquarium.

THANKS
Yaddle

Duck weed and anacharis are pretty popular. Some more info here: http://redearslider.com/plants.html
