Unless your a seriously dedicated koi pond keeper (who wants nothing else but water, oxygen and koi in the pond) you will probably want to have some plants in your garden pond. How do you choose which ones will suit your pond?
Well there are 4 basic types: Marginal plants, bog plants, deep water waterlilies and oxygenators.
Oxygenators (many just float within the pond water) are particularly important since they do the job of enriching oxygen concentrations in the pond water to the benefit of all the inhabitants and also the pond filter.
The uses of all the different types along with a long list of the various aquatic plant types can be seen at this pond plants website.
