The well planted lily pool should include 
aquatic and floating plants, as these are 
the natural companions to water lilies. 
Then, too, the upright growing shallow 
water plants give a pleasing contrast and 
make the pool much more interesting. 
With them you can give your pool a touch 
of tropical luxuriousness. 
An attractive arrangement is to have a 
center planting in your pool, whether it 
be round or square or irregular in shape. 
This center planting (marked “B” in the 
illustration) should be made up of such 
plants as Papyrus, Pickerel Rush and 
Arrowhead, or see Collection B-4, page 23. 
Group the lilies around this centerpiece 
about 3 to 5 feet apart according to the 
size of pool and number of lilies. 
At the corners, or at regular intervals 
around the edge of the pool, if the pool is 
of fair size, may be grouped other aquatic 
plants such as Taro, Forget-Me-Not, Prim¬ 
rose Creeper, Spiral Palm, etc. (indicated 
by letter “C” on illustration). 
Floating plants may have their roots an¬ 
chored or be left to float on the surface. 
wherever the breeze takes them.
