We've been growing water plants for more than 30 years. In that time we've learned there are certain fundamental truths about water plants.
Water plants are very hardy and resilient.
They are forgiving and grow well even under less than ideal conditions. No matter what your climate or conditions, you'll be able to find and grow beautiful water plants. There are water plants for full sun, full shade, very warm climates, and very cold ones. It's best to have a variety of plants, in terms of shape and texture, much like a perennial border. Pay attention, too, to when the plants blooms, so that you'll have something in flower from spring through fall.
