How many plants do I need in my pond?
Here are some basic guidelines for the number of plants to use in common sizes of ponds. In a 4′x6′ pond use 1 lily, 5-8 bog plants, 3 floaters, 24 submerged plants. A 6′x11′ to 11′x11′ pond use 2 lilies, 9-13 bog plants, 6 floaters, 44 submerged plants. For 11′x11′ to 14′x16′ ponds use 3 lilies, 10-15 bogs, 8 floaters, 90 submerged plants. A 16′x10′ to 16′x21′ pond uses 5 lilies, 13-18 bog plants, 12 floaters, 160 submerged plants. 21′x21′ to 26′x 26′ 7 lilies, 20-28 bog plants, 15 floaters, 200 submerged plants.

Any ideas on nontraditional plants to use in or around a pond?
