OK you guys, I need some help. I have a headboard across my pond and it is about 6 feet or more across. I want to find something to plant in it to hide the box and maybe hang over toward the pond water. I want lots of color and green. Last year I had cypress vines, MG vines,pentas, and a yellow 4'oclock at the end. But it just wasn't pretty. I also had a couple ground orchids too but those died in the greenhouse disaster a while back. I don't need anyone to send plants , I have many and can get what I need around here when I decide what to use, just want some ideas as to what would fill the box and be pretty. I'm thinking maybe some pitcher plants but the only problem the box is wood and the water would run out and was going to fill in around the pitcher plants with the parrot feather you see growing in the water now.
There are water lilies and other pond plants growing in the pond with my baby koi fish.
This is my small pond. Any ideas? I do have the stictocardia vine coming soon. ?????
But it didn't grow fast this past year for me so probably wouldn't be enough alone.
Edited to correct spelling.
