Pond Edge


I have been trying hard to get the front yard weeding and mulching finished, but on Memorial Day, I decided to treat myself to a bit of play in the pond. The top plant is an umbrella plant (darmera peltata) whose leaves will get to be about two feet across. Right now, it is pretty small, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will really grow fast once it gets established. On the bottom is a lysimachia (the tall spikes) and a variegated sedge. All of these plants need consistent moisture and I planted them so that their roots could make their way over the pond liner and to the water.  I am also going to add a perennial geranium that will scramble over the rocks to the bottom grouping.
