@420benz Can you be a little more specific? How to plant them is going to depend on a lot of factors, including your local climate. Some of those are marginal or bog plants. Do you have either a bog and/or shallow shelves you can set a pot on? The lily, if it’s a hardy variety, can just go in a shallow container filled with kitty litter, then placed a foot or 2 deep in the pond.

I would recommend that you look up each plant and find out its specific care and planting instructions. There is a lot of info on the internet regarding water lilies — and many good YouTube videos — as well as elsewhere on this site. Just “search” for water lily care.

Each plant will have different requirements. If you’ll do a Google search for each plant, you should be able to find that info for the individual plants. Was there any info that came with the plants? I have found that to be very generic and not too helpful, though.

Found all but the iris.Don't know if i can plant it in the pond.

Don'tw if i can plant it in the pond.

Why is that? Blue flag grows great in the margins of the pond. You can grow it either in or out of the pot. The advantage to in the pot is it's a bit easier to control... but they will burst out of the pot if you give them enough time!

Put it in kitty litter in a pot, put it in the pond with the surface of the litter just below the water.

They will grow to the right depth, but the plant will most likely die back for the season (if there are leaves yet). But in the spring, they’ll grow up.

Walmart has many different kinds of Kitty Litter.What should i look for?

 

[Mmathis]

Unscented, non-clumping. It will be the most basic, no-frills brand (and cheapest) — just clay. I think my WallyWorld carries a different “brand” from what other stores carry, so check the label.
