I wouldn't use aquarium plants, I'd see what plants are growing in ponds or other BOW's near you that you wouldn't mind having in your pond. IMO, aquarium plants wouldn't make it thru your winters, and if they did, they might very well be invasive.
I am looking for a few lily pads and on my ridge I would like to get a lawn of dwarf sagittaria grass going. I have a great deal of pea stone mixed with chips and dust on this ridge to anchor some small pot plugs of them.
Not too worried about the flowers of the lily pads more some shade cover and nothing that will take over the pond. There is a yellow lily pad we see everywhere around here. I don't know if it is an over bearing pad or not.
Cheers Don.
