How To Create a Water Garden
More in Outdoors
Step 1: Insert the Plants
Insert pots of dwarf papyrus (Cyperus isocladus) into the pot. A layer of small rocks on the soil surface of the pot will anchor it in the water and prevent it from floating to the surface. Float water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) on the water surface. Lavender blooms will appear late in the season (Image 1). Dig a series of holes in the mulch around the water garden. Install empty 6" pots in the holes. Drop in planted pots of bromeliad (Canistropsis 'Seidelii') (Image 2).
