I'm building a 3/4ac pond at my in-laws in west central TN. Which plants would you recommend adding? In what quantities? I'm a complete newbie here so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My current favorite is pickerel weed. Here's why:
1.) great at pulling nutrients out of the water helping control unwanted algae
2.) attracts dragonflies and pollinators with it's flowers
3.) spreads but does so at a slower rate so management is doable
4.) doesn't mind water fluctuations.
I've got a patch at our pond that I can't wait to separate and replant in different locations once the weather cools.
