Search only in Hardy Marginal/Bog Plants

Hardy Marginal/Bog Plants The marginal and bog plants are traditionally planted along the margins of the pond or in moist soil. In water gardening, both marginal and bog plants are commonly referred to as marginal plants.The marginal plants provide the vertical touch to a garden pond. Marginals make the pool look lush and attractive. The garden pool needs the vertical plants to offset the horizontal surface of the water and the horizontal growth habit of water lilies. Water lilies provide the 'pizzazz', marginals provide the structure.
