I thoroughly cleaned (for the first time) the small patio pond that came with the house we bought 4 years ago, so now I actually know what it looks like. I added the Skippy filter last year - it spills into a preformed waterfall spout when in use. I'm looking for suggestions of plants to add this season. As you can see, there are two shelves, with the higher one forming a wide shallow area (upper left). Originally there were flat rocks all around the perimeter on the upper shelf - they're in a pile in the background - but I'm not a big fan. Any and all thoughts are welcome!
Your suggestions please...

I have yellow iris, corkscrew, zebra grass, and water lilies in mine year round. As summer plantings I add dwarf umbrella and hyacinths. There are no water stores around my area so I take what I can find. Any how, those are a few you can look up and check out
I also have fish so I tend to get frog bit and fairy moss. They love it.

Very nice pond, lots of plants will do great. Rushes, grasses, parrots feather, depends on the look you are wanting.
