Both. They will eventually and naturally show up on their own. However, they may not be what you want, so you can introduce what you do want. That's not to say that the natural ones will not show up on their own even if you plant though.

Some examples of plants suggested by Bill Cody at Pond Boss Conference IV were water iris, sweet flag, spike rush, lizard tail, arrowhead, water arum, pickerel plant and marsh marigold. He likes these based on their max height, rate of spread and ability to control. Stock Seed Farms is one place that sells a large variety of aquatic plants.
