Shallow water and bog plants lend themselves to charming effects in 
any pool. Tall plants such as Water Canna, Blue Spoonflower, Spiral 
Palm, Yellow Flag, and many others are especially suited for back- 
grounds. They grow luxuriantly in almost any soil, but prefer the 
heavier clay soils. Umbrella Palm, Pickerel Rush, Giant Arrowhead, etc. 
grow 1 to 2 feet tall and are fine for planting along the sides of your 
pool. Low growing plants such as Peacock Hyacinth, Parrot Feather, 
and Primrose Creeper can be planted amongst your waterlilies. Water 
Poppy and Floating Heart may be planted in boxes or pots like your 
waterlilies. 
Plant them in boxes, pots, or cans using a heavy soil if possible. Most 
of them do best in shallow water 2 to 4 inches deep. The addition of 
small amounts (level tablespoon) of fertilizer several times during the 
summer will increase their vigor and flowers.
