OTHER POND PLANTS 
Lotuses (Nelumbiums) 
Album grandiflorum (white), Luteum (yellow), Speciosum (rose), 
Pekinensis (red). 
The culture of Nelumbiums requires more root-space than for water 
lilies. Planted in a shallow pond where they have plenty of space for the 
strong roots to branch out and travel, they prosper amazingly. They are 
hardy over winter, and if it is desired to confine them to a certain space 
or locality they should be boarded in or otherwise divided from the rest 
of the pond. The roots go several feet deep. The Lotus is one of the 
most beautiful of all decorative plants. Its magnificent leaves and flowers 
swaying majestically in the summer breezes give us an inkling of why 
the ancient Egyptians considered the plant sacred. 
Among the best of the bog and pond plants are Variegated Sweet 
Flag, Cape Pond Weed, Marsh Marigold, Umbrella Plant, Cyperus 
Papyrus, Water Arum, Pickerel Weed, Sagittaria japonica, Sagittaria 
montevidiensis, and Lizard’s Tail. 
Water Snowflake is one of the most charming of the small floating 
aquatics. White, star-like flowers of l-inch diameter are freely borne 
above the water. Parent plant should be rooted in soil near surface.
