TROPICAL MARGINAL POND PLANTS
Tropical
marginal plants often add that finishing touch to a pond. Whether it is the
bold colourful foliage of a taro, a continuously flowering canna, or
the unique texture of a papyrus, the addition of these plants to your pond
will make an impact. Many tropical plants also make great indoor houseplants
over the winter as well!.
