ok by algae magnet you mean if you have them you will have algae? or they attract it so it dint' all over in the pond?

I've found in my sitting here surfing most of the evening after dark that I could do mexican petunia as a marginal and the ruella's too...I have those two already in the flower beds.

I have several canna's around and I've been told I can use those as marginals

I'm trying to figure out what to use for the back of the pond to "cover" the liner that goes up to the waterfall and the timbers.
The front of it is about 16" tall but the back of it is about 28" tall so I want to put something that will grow up and "hide" the liner more or less yet not take over the whole pond as it is only 32 " wide

and trying to decide what to put along the back side above the waterfall in the ground so you dont look at the bare ground behind it LOL
Here's a rough picture of it it is further along then this now ....
