cooperlola Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 We have a concrete pond in our garden - home to 9 goldfish when we arrived, currently around 50 or so (two years later)!Last year, the concrete began to crack so we put a plastic liner in it, which has solved the leak problem. However, in spite of my surrounding it with some nice rocks, the top of the inside of said pond looks pretty ugly. I would like some suggestions as to plants I could grow around the perimeter of the pond which would evetually grow over the side and into the water. It is a partially shaded and sheltered spot.Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Not sure about plants to grow from the bank into the water, but both water mint (mentha aquatica) and water forget-me-not will grow out from the water and root into the earth around the pond.

Patf Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 You could use helxine - " baby tears". It comes usually in small pots so you will need several but it quickly spreads and can be trained to cover the edge and trail into the water. I've used helxine in this way for 2 ponds. Pat.
